The Pittsburgh Steelers have been active this offseason, particularly on the offensive side of the ball, as they traded for former Seattle Seahawks wideout DK Metcalf while shipping out troubled receiver George Pickens in a deal with the Dallas Cowboys.
But what they still haven't done is sign a quarterback as they continue to play the long game with Aaron Rodgers.
That hasn't stopped general manager Omar Khan from looking to improve elsewhere, and Khan has been linked to Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith by insider Adam Schefter.
"The Dolphins have had trade discussions with the Pittsburgh Steelers about their lone Pro-Bowl selection last season, tight end Jonnu Smith, per league sources," Schefter wrote on Twitter. "Those talks came after Smith expressed an interest in reworking his deal that is scheduled to pay him $4.8 million this season. With Smith seeking a new contract, Miami has sought a trade partner.
"Last season, Smith set the franchise record for a tight end in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns. Smith’s preference, per sources, is to stay in Miami under a reworked deal."
There is a link between Smith and the Steelers, as offensive coordinator Arthur Smith coached the former FIU tight end while with the Tennessee Titans.
Smith will enter his ninth year in the league next season and he's posted 307 receptions for 3,307 yards and 28 touchdowns. Last season, he posted career highs with 88 catches and 884 yards while tying his career-best eight touchdowns. He also made his first Pro Bowl.
