🏈 ESPN gave the Steelers the Steelers. a C in the blockbuster trade with the Dolphins. In contrast, Miami received an A.
“The Dolphins had been looking for a taker on Ramsey. I assumed this would involve the Dolphins eating a portion of Ramsey’s guaranteed salary, but they ended up finding a trade partner that took on just about the full freight,” Seth Walder of ESPN wrote. “Losing Smith isn’t ideal, but the Dolphins’ offense is intended to funnel through Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, who each took a step back last season. If all goes as planned for Miami, far more targets should go to the two wideouts again in 2025. And the same analysis on Smith holds here, too: The Dolphins — who are in a far tighter cap situation — didn’t want to overpay the tight end after a career year, and that makes sense.
“After losing Jevon Holland in free agency, the Dolphins backfilled the safety position with two new acquisitions: Ashtyn Davis (from the Jets) and Ifeatu Melifonwu (from the Lions), both on cheap deals. In Fitzpatrick, they now have an established high-end safety to replace Holland and get him at essentially the same numbers the Giants paid Holland (and with no guarantees).
“To top it all off, Miami gets a late-round draft pick swap in its favor in this deal. Miami wasn’t in an ideal position, having one veteran it needed to trade and another desiring a new contract the team didn’t want to give. But by making this deal with the Steelers, the Dolphins got the most out of the hand they had.”
