Dolphins' Trade Strategy: A Controversial Approach?
In a surprising move, the Miami Dolphins, despite their less-than-stellar record, chose to make only one significant trade, sending edge rusher Jaelan Phillips to the Eagles. But here's the twist: they reportedly received offers for two of their key players, wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and edge rusher Bradley Chubb. However, the Dolphins' asking price was a deal-breaker.
Waddle, who signed a three-year extension last year, is a vital part of the Dolphins' offense. With 41 catches, 586 yards, and four touchdowns this season, he's a consistent performer. But the team's decision to keep him suggests they're not ready to part with their star receiver just yet.
As for Chubb, his situation is a bit more complex. With two years left on his contract but no guaranteed money, and high salary cap numbers for the next two seasons, he could be on his way out of Miami. His recent performance, with four sacks and seven quarterback hits since returning from injury, might not be enough to keep him on the team.
And this is the part most people miss: the Dolphins' trade strategy is a risky one. By holding onto Waddle and potentially letting Chubb go, they're betting on their current roster to turn things around. But with a 2-7 record, is it a gamble worth taking?
