Jonnu Smith's agent mum on tight end’s push for contract extension with Dolphins as team preps for mandatory mini-camp

Rosenhaus has a pretty standard response when asked about client and team negotiations, this latest incident being more of the same. His comment about the situation being "fluid" has been used before — including the last time he was asked about Smith and negotiations with the Dolphins before Smith signed his two-year contract in Miami last spring.

Smith not arriving and/or participating at mandatory mini-camp would not be the end of the world for the Dolphins, but it would be lovely if the Dolphins could resolve these kinds of outstanding business items one way or another sooner rather than later after. Their 2024 offseason program was littered with issues of the business variety, some going even deep into training camp.

Some, like Tua Tagovailoa, were evident from the jump — his agency (Athletes First) and their negotiation with the Dolphins was very well publicized. Tagovailoa was a selective participant in the offseason work as he and his camp tried to pressure the Dolphins into finalizing a deal. Others, like Jalen Ramsey, were a bit more cloak and dagger. Ramsey suspiciously fell off the radar towards the end of training camp, enduring an extended absence from the practice field with a lower body ailment that conveniently faded once the Dolphins conceded a contract adjustment. Tyreek Hill, another Rosenhaus client, voiced his desire for a new contract last summer as well. He got one. 

We'll know soon enough what Smith's intentions are for this week. It seems as though all options are on the table for a long-term solution, as the trade rumors with Pittsburgh linger while other reports suggest that both Smith and the Dolphins would like to figure something out. 

The Dolphins' first mandatory session opens tomorrow, June 10th.
