The Steelers have engaged in trade talks with Miami regarding Smith. He’s worked with Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith with both the Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons, and by not showing up to minicamp, Jonnu Smith is making it known how he feels about his contract, which could increase the odds he gets traded.
