Mike McDaniel says Jonnu Smith is 'very important' to offense, hopes TE remains with Dolphins
Our Summary
Jonnu Smith desires to remain with the Miami Dolphins, a sentiment echoed by his coach, Mike McDaniel, who describes Smith as a crucial part of the team's offense. Smith, seeking a new contract after outplaying his current one, has been absent from voluntary workouts. He recorded 88 catches for 884 yards and eight touchdowns in his first Miami season, leading the team in several categories. Despite trade rumors, Smith's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, affirmed his client's wish to stay in Miami. The primary issue is negotiating a suitable contract, which the front office and Rosenhaus are handling, while McDaniel focuses on coaching.
