The Miami Dolphins have agreed to trade three-time All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for three-time All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Monday.
The Dolphins are also trading tight end Jonnu Smith to the Steelers for a late-round pick swap, sources told Schefter.
Ramsey will get a $1.5 million raise this season, bringing his 2025 compensation up to $26.6 million, sources told Schefter. Smith will receive a one-year contract extension worth $12 million, agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey told Schefter.
Ramsey confirmed he was headed to Pittsburgh, posting to X, “Break my own news! #HereWeGo @steelers.”

Meanwhile, Fitzpatrick heads back to Miami, where he began his career after the Dolphins selected him 11th overall in the 2018 draft.
Ramsey joins a loaded cornerback group with the Steelers, who signed Darius Slay Jr. in free agency earlier this offseason and also have incumbent starter Joey Porter Jr.
Ramsey becomes the fourth Dolphins captain from last season to exit the squad, joining Terron Armstead (retired), Calais Campbell (Arizona Cardinals) and David Long Jr. (released, now with Tennessee Titans).
