Jonnu Smith Expresses Interest in Returning to Miami Dolphins in 2026

Jonnu Smith, a former tight end for the Miami Dolphins, is reportedly interested in rejoining the team in 2026. This comes after he was traded to Pittsburgh 13 months ago.

The Dolphins' receiving corps is currently young and uncertain, with rookie Caleb Douglas showing promise. Smith's potential return is being discussed, although financial constraints may pose a challenge. Josh Moser from WSVN-TV mentioned on the Fins Faithful Podcast that while Smith wants to come back, the financial situation is not favorable at the moment.

Smith previously sought a new contract after a successful season with the Dolphins in 2024, where he recorded 88 receptions for 884 yards and 8 touchdowns. His departure was part of a trade deal that included Jalen Ramsey. The current Dolphins management has changed since Smith's exit, which may influence the dynamics of his potential return.
