Happy Friday, and I hope yinz are doing well.
Pittsburgh didn’t wait until the Fourth of July to set off fireworks. What’s normally a quiet and sleepy week leading into the holiday began with a blockbuster. Monday, the Pittsburgh Steelers traded FS Minkah Fitzpatrick and a 2027 fifth round pick to the Miami Dolphins for CB Jalen Ramsey, TE Jonnu Smith, and a 2027 seventh round selection. It’s the type of trade rarely seen in the NFL, especially in late June.
Ramsey and Smith received pay raises/extensions as part of the deal.
It’s the latest major move the Steelers have made this season in an effort to turn over the roster, capture a playoff win, and go on a postseason run.
