Jonnu Smith speaks out after trade – The Splash Zone 7/5/25

Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours.

After making the Pro Bowl and setting franchise records, it looked like Jonnu Smith was set to be for the Miami Dolphins for a few more years. But when Smith wanted to get paid more, the Dolphins decided it would be best to go different directions. So Smith and Jalen Ramsey were traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier this week and Smith said he feels he is in a place where he feels valued. The Dolphins may have valued Smith but they had a certain number in mind and when the two sides couldn’t agree, a trade was probably best for both sides.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
