There's never a dull moment in the AFC North.
The Pittsburgh Steelers agreed to a blockbuster trade on Monday that sends All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Dolphins in exchange for star cornerback Jalen Ramsey and veteran tight end Jonnu Smith.
Adam Schefter was the first to report the news. The Steelers will also receive a 2027 seventh round pick, meanwhile the Dolphins get a 2027 fifth rounder in the trade.
Ramsey, 30, was on the trade block. Smith was also in trade discussions in recent weeks.
It's a bold trade for Pittsburgh. They give up a mainstay on their defense for two guys that could certainly help them, but one thing is certain: Fitzpatrick is the best player in this trade.
Three of the Bengals 17 regular season games are against the Steelers and the Dolphins this season. They play Pittsburgh on Oct. 16 and Nov. 16. Then, they head to Miami to play the Dolphins on Dec. 21.
