The Steelers and Dolphins had some preliminary discussions about Smith late last week, with Pittsburgh in the market for a pass-catcher, but the fit with the tight end was not an obvious one, with the Steelers already having Pat Freiermuth under long-term contract.

The Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly renewed trade conversations Tuesday after tight end Donald Parham Jr. suffered a serious injury.

The Pittsburgh Steelers seem to be going back and forth with their reported pursuit of a Pro Bowl tight end. ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported on Thursday that Pittsburgh had been in contact with the Miami Dolphins about a potential trade for veteran tight end Jonnu Smith.
