Dolphins Face Smith Contract, Ramsey Trade Turmoil

The Miami Dolphins are facing contract and roster challenges, notably involving tight end Jonnu Smith and cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Smith, after a record-setting 2024 season with 88 receptions, 884 yards, and eight touchdowns, is seeking a contract extension and sat out minicamp while talks remain ongoing and fluid. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has voiced strong support for Smith to stay, and both Smith and the Dolphins are optimistic about reaching a deal by training camp, despite trade rumors involving the Steelers. Simultaneously, Jalen Ramsey has reportedly been at odds with the organization since April and has been informed he will be traded, although no deal has been finalized yet. The Dolphins' willingness to negotiate extensions reflects a desire to retain key players despite salary cap constraints. The situation for both Smith and Ramsey remains unsettled as the team works toward resolutions.
