"That's his first choice. 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.

The Miami Dolphins have recently had trade discussions with the Pittsburgh Steelers about tight end Jonnu Smith, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It's a surprising development for the Dolphins as Smith was the team's sole Pro Bowler during a record-breaking 2024 season. In his first year with Miami after joining as a free agent, Smith broke the Dolphins' franchise records for receptions (88), receiving yards (884), and receiving touchdowns (8) by a tight end.

Tyreek Hill says he's focused on earning his Miami Dolphins teammates' trust back after ending the 2024 season with a pseudo trade request. And after three straight years of being a team captain in as many years with the Dolphins, the eight-time Pro Bowl wide receiver isn't expecting to keep the honor in 2025. "I gotta prove myself," Hill told reporters Wednesday after an organized team activity (OTA). "This OTAs, training camp, I gotta prove myself. I gotta show up different.

There's been plenty of consternation about the state of the Miami Dolphins secondary with seven-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jalen Ramsey set to be traded soon.

It may be up to Dolphins defense to save Mike McDaniel's job, says ESPN analyst

After the Miami Dolphins missed the playoffs in 2024, Mike McDaniel's job is far from safe heading into the 2025 season. Now it could be up to the team's defense to save his job, according to ESPN's Ben Solak. While a high-flying offense has been the Dolphins' calling card during the McDaniel era, the team's output has consistently tailed off down the stretch. Miami finished the 2023 season No. 1 in the NFL in offensive yardage and were the only team to average more than 400 yards per game.

Any hope of reconciliation between the Miami Dolphins and cornerback Jalen Ramsey seems a lost cause at this point.

Dolphins roster has 'worst position group' in the NFL, says ESPN analyst

1 month ago | dolphinswire.usatoday.com | Adam Stites

The Miami Dolphins secondary is thin and set to get thinner with seven-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jalen Ramsey expected to be traded this summer. While the Dolphins have been poking around the veteran free agent market, and haven't ruled out a trade for a cornerback either, for now, the Miami secondary is filled with young, inexperienced players. According to ESPN's Ben Solak, it's not just an area of weakness on the Dolphins roster -- it's the worst spots on any roster in the NFL.
