Ex-Dolphins star slams team over blockbuster trade with Steelers
Mostert unleashed his "hot take" on social media as reports trickled in about the trade. Smith and Jalen Ramsey were dealt to the Steelers for Minkah Fitzpatrick. Draft picks were also involved in the deal.
"Hot take: Be a Pro-bowler on the Dolphins, get treated like s---. Happy for my guys though! GO BALL OUT!!" Mostert wrote.
Mostert played with the Dolphins from 2022 to 2024. He put together a Pro Bowl season in 2023 when he ran for 1,012 yards and an NFL-leading 18 touchdowns. However, the 2024 season was marred with injuries, and he only rushed for 278 yards and scored two touchdowns.
He signed with the Raiders in the offseason, joining a roster with Geno Smith as the team's quarterback and Brock Bowers as one of the primary targets. Mostert is set to be in a backfield with rookie Ashton Jeanty.
Smith is a veteran tight end who is now set to play with his fourth team in four years and fifth team over the course of nine years.
He earned a Pro Bowl nod for the first time in his career in 2024. He had 88 catches for 884 yards and eight touchdowns. Those numbers either were career highs or tied career highs.
Miami was 8-9 and missed the playoffs for the first time in two years.

Raleigh's 39th home run leads Mariners to snap Brewers' 11-game win streak
SEATTLE (AP) — Cal Raleigh hit his major league-leading 39th home run of the season, Logan Gilbert tossed 6 1/3 shutout innings and the Seattle Mariners snapped the Milwaukee Brewers' 11-game winning streak, 1-0 on Tuesday night. Raleigh, who hadn't homered since July 11 against the Detroit Tigers, received an elevated fastball from Brewers right-hander Nick Mears (1-3) and hit it well past the right field wall. The switch-hitting catcher, who won the All-Star Home Run Derby, provided all the offense on an evening headlined by the pitchers. Gilbert (3-3) carried a perfect game bid into the fifth inning, and ended up yielding just two singles. The right-hander racked up 10 strikeouts against no walks while needing only 86 pitches to make it into the seventh inning, departing to a standing ovation. Brewers' rookie sensation Jacob Misiorowski was similarly brilliant. The righty struck out seven batters across 3 2/3 innings, yielding three hits while walking one. It wasn't until Misiorowski departed that the Mariners finally pushed a run across and set up closer Andrés Muñoz for his 22nd save of the season. Key moment Muñoz walked William Contreras and Jackson Chourio to put two runners aboard with one out in the ninth inning. But Muñoz struck out Isaac Collins and got Andrew Vaughn to ground out to end the threat. Key stat The Brewers' 11-game win streak was two victories shy of the Minnesota Twins for the longest win streak in the majors this season. The Twins won 13 consecutive games from May 3 to 19. Up next Brewers right-hander Quinn Priester (8-2, 3.33 ERA) will start the final game of the series for Milwaukee. Right-hander Luis Castillo (7-5, 3.21) gets the ball for Seattle. ___ AP MLB:
