The Jaguars leading tight end was Brenton Strange, who the Jaguars drafted in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Strange, who played behind Engram in his rookie season saw very limited time. In 2024, he started 10 games and played in all 17, collecting 40 receptions for 411 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

If the Dolphins end up trading Smith, they'll be left without a true receiving tight end. Smith played 54.8% of the team's offensive snaps last season and accounted for roughly a quarter of the team's receiving yards; Dolphins tight ends recorded 1,053 receiving yards last season, with Smith accounting for 84% of that production.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' on-again, off-again pursuit of Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith is reportedly back on again, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the latest strange twist in what's been a wait-and-see offseason for Pittsburgh.
