The trade not only rid the Dolphins of Ramsey but brought back Fitzpatrick, whom the franchise drafted No. 11 overall in 2018, to help solidify the secondary. The Steelers now have a veteran to pair with the younger cornerback Joey Porter Jr. and added another pass-catching tight end in Smith for Aaron Rodgers.

While the move brings one of the league's premier safeties to Miami's defensive backfield, it also leaves a void at corner. With the seven-time Pro Bowler in Ramsey out of the picture, the Dolphins need new corners to step up and for someone to morph into a reliable starter.

The Miami Dolphins are sending Ramsey, Smith and a 2027 seventh-round draft pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and a 2027 fifth-round pick.
