The Miami Dolphins are in a confusing situation as the NFL trade deadline approaches.
At 2-4, the team could decide to punt the season, do a soft rebuild, secure a draft pick, and return in 2025 with a new roster. One of the biggest rumors floating around on social media is whether the Dolphins will trade Tyreek Hill.
The Dolphins’ offense has been the worst in the NFL through seven weeks, but quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is expected to return this week after being on IR. How he plays after recovering from his concussion could determine GM Chris Grier’s plans before the trade deadline. The Dolphins remain in second place in the AFC East, 1.5 games out of the wild-card hunt. Can they strengthen their defense after losing Jaelan Phillips midway through the season?
Dolphins NFL Trade Deadline Rumors, News
Here’s what we’re hearing about the Dolphins’ moves ahead of the NFL trade deadline.
ESPN: Don’t expect Dolphins to make big moves
The Dolphins could add a quality veteran, but ESPN reporter Marcel-Louis Jacques said he doesn’t expect a deal that requires a long-term extension as part of the deal. He noted that the Dolphins’ cap room in 2025 is projected to be $4 million. – Dan Lorabaugh
Fox offers quarterback Bryce Young to Dolphins
Part of FOX Sports reporter Greg Orman’s list of 10 big trades he would like to see includes the Carolina Panthers trading Bryce Young to the Dolphins as Tua Tagovailoa’s backup. Young, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, was benched in place of Andy Dalton after starting the season by going 31-of-56 for 245 yards, no touchdowns, and three interceptions, but was benched in place of Andy Dalton. Now that he has recovered, he is scheduled to start Sunday against the Broncos. crash.
Orman said Young would be relatively cheap to join a new team, with a salary of $10 million over two years after this season. With Tagovailoa’s availability uncertain after his recent concussion, the Dolphins “would have an inexpensive Plan B that would improve the backup situation at any cost,” Orman wrote. Miami beefed up its QB room this week, signing CJ Bearhardt to the practice squad on Wednesday. – Dan Lorabaugh
Dolphins trade deadline goals
Here are Hal Khabib’s positions the Dolphins should target before the NFL trade deadline.
Guard: Protecting Tua Tagovailoa is key. Robert Jones is ranked 53rd at the position by Pro Football Focus. Liam Eichenberg was 57th. And neither has a great reputation in pass protection.
Receiver/Punt Returner: With Braxton Berrios out for the season, the question is whether the Dolphins can realistically expect to get more production from Odell Beckham Jr. and the injured River Cracraft at the WR3 position. There is.
Defensive Tackle: The Dolphins are getting strong production from Calais Campbell. Zach Sheeler and Dashawn Hand. But depth under center is never a bad thing, especially when the weather gets colder and teams tend to run a little more.
Dolphins Trade Deadline Options
Here’s who the Dolphins could potentially trade away before the NFL trade deadline for Joe Shad.
Jeff Wilson Jr., RB: Wilson, 28, is stuck in traffic behind Raheem Mostert, Devon Ashen and Jalen Wright.
Channing Tyndall (LB): Tyndall, 24, had 11 tackles in three seasons.
Durham Smythe, TE: Smythe, 29, is playing 34 percent of the snaps, compared to 71 percent last season.
Will the Dolphins trade Tyreek Hill?
After the Kansas City Chiefs lost Laci Rice midway through the season, speculation on the internet quickly turned to speculation that they would reunite Tyreek Hill and Patrick Mahomes to fill the void. There is also news that teams such as the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills are looking for a receiver, and talk of Hill leaving is growing.
The Athletic’s Diana Russini said on Tuesday’s episode of the Scoop City podcast that the Dolphins have no intention of trading Hill. The receiver signed a three-year, $90 million extension with the Dolphins during the offseason, and his maximum cap hit against the team this season is $18.3 million. He has said he wants to remain in Miami and has toyed with the idea of him being on the trade block on social media.
The Jets acquired Davante Adams in a trade, and the Bills acquired Amari Cooper. When news broke Wednesday morning that the Chiefs had agreed to trade DeAndre Hopkins, Hill continued his social media rant with a two-letter post:
