The Pittsburgh Steelers added a key player with the arrival of Jonnu Smith. Despite his bittersweet departure from the Miami Dolphins, the tight end said he’s ready to help Aaron Rodgers during an interview on the Zach Smackz Show.
“You know that old saying: ‘The stars are aligned.’ What more can I ask for? As a football head, I’m in the best possible situation that any football junkie would want to be. I’m in a winning organization with a Hall of Fame quarterback, a Hall of Fame coach with Mike Tomlin and all types of ballers on both sides of the ball.”
Smith was one of the most reliable targets for Tua Tagovailoa, and now he joins other tight ends like Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington to boost Arthur Smith’s offensive scheme heading into the upcoming season.
Who did Steelers trade for Jalen Ramsey?
A few weeks ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers made a huge move by acquiring star cornerback Jalen Ramsey from the Miami Dolphins. As part of the trade, Pittsburgh also received tight end Jonnu Smith and a 2027 seventh-round draft pick.
In exchange, the Miami Dolphins got safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, who had been a centerpiece of Pittsburgh’s secondary, and a 2027 fifth-round pick. As an extension was looming for Minkah, the Steelers decided they were not ready to pay him big money.
