The Pittsburgh Steelers renewed conversations Thursday with Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith, who is seeking a new contract, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The development brings new life to a possible trade between the Steelers and Dolphins after sources had told Schefter earlier Tuesday that a trade was not expected to be completed.
Smith, 29, expressed interest to the Dolphins in reworking the two-year deal he signed last offseason, which would pay him $4.8 million in 2025, sources told Schefter.
Drew Rosenhaus, Smith's agent, said Sunday night that his client's "first choice" was to remain with the Dolphins.
