Smith signed a two-year, $8.4 million deal in 2024, and is scheduled to make $4.8 million in 2025. He clearly feels his performance last season -- setting three different single-season tight end franchise records for the Dolphins with 88 receptions for 884 yards and eight touchdowns -- is deserving of a raise.

Jonnu Smith did not attend the Dolphins' mandatory minicamp last week, but that doesn't mean the tight end will definitely be playing elsewhere this fall.

The only thing is, there hasn’t been much of an update on that side. Smith did, however, sit out of minicamp as he and agent Drew Rosenhaus seek a new contract. Rosenhaus recently called conversations with the Dolphin “still fluid” on WSVN 7’s Sports Xtra.
