Jonnu Smith, the Miami Dolphins' Pro Bowl tight end, was absent from a mandatory team activity, sparking concerns regarding his contract negotiations after a record-setting season. Smith led the Dolphins last year with 88 receptions, 884 receiving yards, and eight touchdowns but is reportedly seeking a better compensation package than his current two-year, $8.4 million deal. Meanwhile, head coach Mike McDaniel commented on the focus of the team amidst contract discussions, while fellow player Zach Sieler attended the activity despite his own contract talks. Smith's absence could result in serious financial penalties.
"We are focused on building the Dolphins today, and anything outside of that would be a distraction."
"I'm hoping for a contract that reflects my performance and contributions to the team."
