Steelers, Dolphins Pick Jonnu Trade Talks Back Up
The Pittsburgh Steelers and Miami Dolphins have renewed trade conversations on tight end Jonnu Smith. Trade talks had appeared to break down this week.
Drew Rosenhaus, Smith\'s agent, said Sunday night that his client\'s \"first choice\" was to remain with the Dolphins.
\"Here\'s what I will say on behalf of my client: Jonnu would definitely like to stay in Miami. That\'s his first choice,\" Rosenhaus said in his weekly appearance on WSVN-TV, according to the Miami Herald. \"This is where he lives in the offseason. He had a record-breaking season last year. It was the best season ever for a Miami Dolphin tight end. ... He broke the team record for receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns for a tight end and was the team\'s single Pro Bowl player. He\'s an incredibly valuable part of this team. ... He went to college at FIU. His dream team is the Dolphins.
\"Hopefully, everything works out where he can stay in Miami.\"
Smith set franchise records for receptions (88) and receiving yards (884) by a tight end last season en route to his first Pro Bowl selection.
