Dolphins Negotiate with Jonnu Smith Following Falcons Release

The Miami Dolphins are in talks with tight end Jonnu Smith, aiming to bolster their pass-catching options after a touchdown-less season from the position.

• Jonnu Smith, released by the Atlanta Falcons on Feb. 27, visited the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday and is currently negotiating a contract.
• Smith's addition could address the Dolphins' need for a pass-catching tight end, a gap highlighted by the absence of touchdowns from the position in 2023.
• In his single season with the Falcons, Smith recorded 50 receptions for 582 yards and three touchdowns, marking career-high numbers.
• Before his time with the Falcons, Smith had a notable 2020 season with the Tennessee Titans, achieving a career-high eight receiving touchdowns.
• The Dolphins, looking to transition from a playoff team to a Super Bowl contender, view Smith as a potential key asset in their offense.
