In a Sunday appearance on WSVN 7\u2019s Sports Xtra, Jonnu Smith’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, shared an update on the ongoing contract discussions<\/a>. Rosenhaus described the negotiations as “still fluid.”<\/p>\n

“Nothing has been resolved yet. It\u2019s still an ongoing situation. I would say that it will be resolved I think by training camp, but it\u2019s still very active right now and nothing has been finalized at this juncture,” Rosenhaus said.<\/p>\n

Dolphins<\/a> training camp will open next month at the Baptist Health Training Complex in Miami Gardens.<\/p>\n

Despite the ongoing contract dispute and his recent holdout from mandatory minicamp<\/a>, Rosenhaus has said previously that Smith’s “dream team” is the Dolphins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Here’s what I will say on behalf of my client: Jonnu would definitely like to stay in Miami. That’s his first choice. This is where he lives in the offseason. He had a record-breaking season last year. It was the best season ever for a Miami Dolphin tight end.<\/p>\n

“His dream team is the Dolphins. Hopefully, everything works out where he can stay in Miami,” Rosenhaus told the Miami Herald of Smith on June 1.<\/p>\n

While Smith has been involved in Miami trade discussions with the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a>, there remains optimism that Smith and the Dolphins can iron down a contract extension that satisfies both sides. Smith is currently set to enter the 2025 season on the back half of a two-year, $8.4 million contract that he signed with the Dolphins in March of last year.<\/p>\n

Smith set single-season Dolphins franchise records for a tight end in receptions (88), receiving yards (884) and touchdowns (8).<\/p>\n

Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa shared his stance<\/a> on whether or not the Dolphins should pay Smith during minicamp.<\/p>\n

“Oh 100%, that\u2019s my guy. That\u2019s my dog. Jonnu has done really good for us. I have nothing bad to say about him. I love him as a person, too, outside of football. I think all of our guys that do what they need to do, they should get paid,” Tagovailoa said last week.<\/p>\n
