Pittsburgh’s Action Sports talked with Steelers fans on the North Shore to get their reaction.
“That completely came out of left field. I just came out of lunch, didn’t expect that to happen. I thought Minkah would stay a Steeler pretty much for life,” said Frank Csech, of Squirrel Hill.
“I think Jalen Ramsey is a really good pickup, so I don’t see a bad thing,” said Alicia Black, of Freedom. “I think if you don’t want to play in Pittsburgh, and you show that during the season and you’re not being cohesive as a teammate, then it’s time to go. But we love Minkah. Everyone loves Minkah. But it’s a business decision, so we get it.”
Ramsey, 30, is a three-time All-Pro. He is the latest addition to Pittsburgh’s cornerback room, joining Darius Slay, formerly of the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, along with third-year CB Joey Porter Jr.
The 28-year-old Fitzpatrick, also a three-time All-Pro, is returning to the Dolphins, who selected Fitzpatrick in the 2018 draft before trading him to Pittsburgh in 2019.
Smith, 29, is coming off a career year with 88 receptions for 884 yards and eight touchdowns. The trade reunites him with Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, who was the OC in Tennessee and Atlanta when Jonnu Smith played for those franchises.
Jonnu Smith will get a one-year contract extension for $12 million, agent Drew Rosenhaus confirmed.
