Meanwhile, the Steelers’ interest in Smith makes sense considering offensive coordinator Arthur Smith coached him for five seasons across Tennessee and Atlanta. Now with the Steelers seeking another pass-catcher for their offense after trading George Pickens, Smith could be a natural fit.

Smith was a serious difference maker last year for the Dolphins, hauling in 88 catches, 884 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. Losing that production won’t be good, so they’ll have to replace it somehow if Smith gets traded. Three veteran tight ends had quite a bit of trade smoke floating around the NFL Draft a month ago.

The Pittsburgh Steelers had discussions with the Miami Dolphins about tight end Jonnu Smith , according to ESPN, in an effort to acquire another talented pass-catcher. This, after the Steelers traded George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys earlier this month.
