NFL Insider Reveals Significant Trade Update for Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins are facing a challenging season, currently standing with a 2-6 record. Despite a recent victory against the Atlanta Falcons, the outlook for the playoffs appears bleak. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has struggled this season, currently tied for the most interceptions in the NFL at 10. Compounding their difficulties, star wide receiver Tyreek Hill has missed the last four games.
NFL Trade Deadline Approaching
As the NFL trade deadline on November 4 approaches, speculation about the Dolphins’ roster intensifies. ESPN senior NFL insider Adam Schefter suggests that the Dolphins may be looking to trade either Jaelan Phillips or Bradley Chubb.
Potential Trade Candidates
- Jaelan Phillips: Phillips has recorded two sacks and six quarterback hits this season. He is noteworthy for his recovery from a torn Achilles and has shown significant improvement.
- Bradley Chubb: Chubb, 29, is a two-time Pro Bowler who has been productive this season with four sacks, seven quarterback hits, and five tackles for loss. However, he is working back from a torn ACL injury sustained in Week 17 of the 2023 season.
Both players represent Miami’s strongest pass-rushing options, yet the team’s defense ranks 26th in points allowed. Their run defense, in particular, has been a critical weakness this season. The recent win against Atlanta marked the first time they held an opponent under 100 rushing yards this year.
Upcoming Challenges
The Dolphins are set to face significant challenges in the coming weeks. They will host the Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, and Washington Commanders in succession, before their bye week in Week 12. These matchups will be crucial for measuring the team’s resilience and potential adjustments as they navigate a tough season.
