When the Miami Dolphins opted to let go of Jonnu Smith after a Pro Bowl-caliber season, fans wondered who would replace him. The answer was Darren Waller and fans were not thrilled.
The trade sending Jalen Ramsey and Smith to the Steelers was expected, but Smith was a little harder to swallow given his performance last season. Smith's desire for a new, reworked contract was enough to send him packing, and he has been quiet about it.
Miami quickly made another trade with the Giants. The Dolphins sent the Giants a sixth-round pick in 2026 in exchange for Waller and a 2026 7th-round pick.
