Miami Dolphins Trade Rumors Led By Jaelan Phillips & Minkah Fitzpatrick

Miami Dolphins Trade Rumors Led By Jaelan Phillips & Minkah Fitzpatrick

[Music] We are under a month away from the NFL trade deadline. It is November 4th. It’s a Tuesday. It’s actually election day. Fun fact. 400 p.m. Eastern time is the deadline. You project that the Miami Dolphins are ultimately going to be sellers when we get closer to the trade deadline. And we’ve seen a bunch of trades this week. We saw the shocking trade that sent Greg Newsome to the Jaguars in return for Tyson Campbell. Um, and you also saw some picks involved there. We saw Joe Flacco go from the Browns to the Bengals. We saw another trade, didn’t we? There was there was there was three this week. There was Nuome, there was Campbell, there was Flacco, and there was a third. Oh, Adolf. We’re playing him this Sunday in the Chargers game. He went from Baltimore to Los Angeles. So, there are trades really starting to pick up before the deadline. And if the losing, which we expect it to to continue in Miami, you will likely see them receive a lot of calls on some of their veterans. And we’re going to talk about which ones make the most sense as trade candidates. But if the Dolphins do make a trade, we will break the news first on my Twitterx handle as Nick_Roloff. Just under 2400 followers. Go give me a follow right now for up tothe-m minutee Dolphins news and rumors and any breaking news we’ll have you covered over there. The number one Dolphins trade candidate for the Dolphins and I really do mean this is Numero Uno. It is Jaylen Phillips. He is the most likely trade candidate on this Dolphins roster without a second thought crossing my brain. And I know a lot of you might be disappointed with that because former first round pick, played at the University of Miami, but the reason why I believe he is the most likely is one, he has only one year left on his deal. He is currently playing on his fifth year option. Do the Dolphins plan on giving him a long-term contract extension before free agency or resigning him in free agency to a long-term deal? Especially if you project having a new GM and head coach going in the next season. Well, they’re not the regime that drafted Jaylen Phillips, making them more willing to move on from him. So, you should probably get ahead of that and trade him since his value is relatively good. He’s actually had a good season. He has been the Miami Dolphins best pass rusher without a question through five games. He has the highest pass rush grade out of all the edges at 75.2. He has had 16 pressures. He finally got his first recorded sack this past week against Carolina. But he also has one of the highest pass rush win rates in the NFL. It’s top 20, 17.7% amongst qualified edges. So, he’s been getting to the quarterback. Unfortunate for him, he’s not been able to actually get these sacks to get on his name, but he has been forcing QBs to step up in the pocket, to flood the pocket, to get rid of the ball quicker than they would like to. He’s been your best edge rusher, which gives you the best chance of getting a solid draft pick in return. And there are certainly a lot of teams that may be interested in Jaylen Phillips. Bleacher Report had him number four on their trade big board and listed the Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys as the two most likely landing spots in a potential trade with Jaylen Phillips. I completely agree on Dallas. By the way, I even had the Cowboys report host Tom Downey DMing me asking me if I think the Dolphins could actually trade Jaylen Phillips. I responded yes. Um, the Bengals, I don’t know if that makes sense considering they might not be in the playoff hunt with all of their injuries, but I’ll throw out another team there, a team that we played in week one, the Indianapolis Colts. That team is si quickly becoming a win now squad. And if they add another pass rusher to just really fortify that defense, they could be a really big-time contender in the AFC. Now, Bleacher Report has his projected value as a conditional fourthround pick, which I don’t disagree with. a fourthrounder. So, an early day three selection that if he meets some snap percentages and production requirements, ultimately be gets elevated to a late day two pick, a third rounder. I think that makes a lot of sense for Jaylen Phillips. We’re talking about a 26, 27 year old guy who is looking good coming off of all of his injuries. I like Jaylen Phillips long term, but I understand why the Dolphins would and should trade him. Drop a name. We got three more names to get to here, but who is the most likely player to be traded on the Miami Dolphins? Is it Jaylen Phillips? Is it a different name? Let me know your thoughts down in the comments. I think Minka Fitzpatrick is the number two trade candidate on the Miami Dolphins. And I actually don’t think it’s particularly close. I know there’s other couple names out there which we’ll get to, but Minka is number two for me behind Jaylen Phillips. And it has to do with his contract. He’s got two years left on his deal. $1.2 million base and a $4.5 million cap hit this season. So, the team trading for Minka Fitzpatrick would certainly not take on a lot of money this season, making him an ideal target for a win now ball club. But he would also have one more year of him. He has a $15.6 million base and an 188 cap hit for next season. That’s not that bad for a safety who is still a top 10 safety in the NFL. And if we’re going to be honest, he’s still playing at that level. You look at his stats through five games, he’s got 33 tackles, a miss tackle rate of 14.7%, and is actually graded out really highly as the 74.2 overall grade. and he has excelled in coverage this year after the biggest knock on him and the biggest struggle of last season being his coverage ability. Now, this season only targeted seven times, has four receptions, hasn’t allowed a touchdown, only given up 34 yards, had an interception against the Panthers this past week, a PBU, and a QB rating when targeted throughout the first five weeks of 30.4. When you look at the long list of issues for this Miami Dolphins defense, Minka Fitzpatrick is not one of them. He has been solid in coverage. He has been okay in run. I’m not going to act like he’s been elite, but he has been very good as a coverage safety, whether it’s in zone or having to man up. So, I think the list of teams interested in a potential Mink Fitzpatrick trade are long. I think one of them being the Dallas Cowboys again. And I mentioned it uh earlier. I had Tom Downey reach out to me about a potential Jaylen Phillips trade. He also reached out to me asking if I think Minka Fitzpatrick could be traded. But another contender, the Houston Texans, they ultimately moved on um from CJ Gardner Johnson. I think they could look to add another safety to their room. The Commanders in a win now mode could look for another safety. There’s two safeties aren’t good. And then the Eagles could also look to add a safety. They have a couple young guys over there, Reed Blankenship and Andrew Makuba. And I think the Dolphins might actually be able to get a solidified day two pick for him. A second rounder probably not. But I think you could get a third round pick for Minka Fitzpatrick. When you look at the trade value that the Dolphins got in return in that Janu Smith and Jaylen Ramsay trade, they trade away Ramsay and Janu plus a late day three pick for Minka in a early day three pick. Well, that puts the projected value in that tra trade for Minka at about a third rounder, which tells me based off his play this year, you could still get a third round pick for Minka Fitzpatrick. So, I think he’ll certainly get some calls um from now until the deadline. It’s just all about if Miami wants to ultimately trade him or not. This episode is brought to you by Prize Pix.

It’s good to be right. The third trade candidate in my opinion around the Miami Dolphins is running back Jaylen Wright, the secondyear back out of Tennessee, drafted in the fourth round in 2024. Um, I just think this one’s obvious based off where we’re at in terms of this running back depth chart. We have three running backs, Devon Hen, Ali Gordon, Jaylen Wright, with Alen Gold being that fullback, that Hback, whatever you want to call him. But the point I’m trying to make here is in week five against Carolina, Jaylen Wright was a healthy inactive. Healthy inactive. There is no point in keeping Jaylen Wright if you’re not going to have him active on game days. It’s clear that the Dolphins would rather play Ali Gordon. And I don’t blame him. He’s a better complimentary back to Devon Chan because Gordon’s 6’2 250 or 225 I should say, runs well in between the tackles and has improved as a pass blocker. Jaylen Wright’s battled injuries and he didn’t look good in the preseason, so there’s no point in keeping him. And Bleacher Report actually suggested a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs that would net Miami a 2026 sixth round pick. I actually think that’s a really good landing spot for Jaylen Wright to be in that offense that could use another back in the passing game as well as a speed guy because their running backs Isaiah Pacheco and uh Kareem Hunt are anything but that. But if Miami could get a day three sixth round pick for Jaylen Wright, I think I would do it because I just don’t see him getting a lot of playing time going ahead in the future here with Ali Gordon continuing to emerge and still having Devon Ham. So, I would trade Jaylen Wright for a sixth round pick. One more trade can to get here to in a second, but make sure you subscribe because if any trade ultimately g happens, we will have you covered. So, make sure you subscribe, join the Dolphins Today family here as we’re bringing you daily Dolphins coverage. The fourth trade candidate and final one we’re talking about today is another edge rusher, veteran Bradley Chub. Now, this makes a ton of sense for Miami to trade him because he’s a veteran. Um, yes, he has three and a half sacks this year, but I don’t think he’s been that productive. The numbers are a little bit overrated. He has not been that good in generating pressure and his pass rush win rate isn’t that great. Um, but when you look at his financials and the money implications of potentially trading Bradley Chub, it just actually makes it incredibly unlikely that Miami gets a deal done. And let me explain. When you look at what Miamiy’s dead cap would be if they traded Bradley Chub this year, they would be paying Bradley Chub 11.4 million to not play football for them. And if you take it a one step further and trade him right now, the Miami Dolphins would have $30.2 $2 million in dead cap next season if they trade him before the deadline. I know this front office is incompetent and really bad, but it would reach another level and be almost like vetoable type of malpractice to take on a $30.2 $2 million dead cap in 2026 to trade Bradley Chub for a mid to late day three pick. Like Bradley Chubb’s trade value is probably a fifth or sixth rounder. You’re not taking on $30 million in dead cap for him. But on the flip side, there will be a ton of interest in Bradley Chub because there is always interest in veteran pass rushers. He has put up three and a half sacks. And some jams might be like, “Oh, he’s got three and a half sacks.” But also, if you look at what the team that trades for Bradley Chub would have to pay him this season and next year, it is little. It’s under a million dollars what a team would have to pay Bradley Chub if they traded for him at the deadline this season. Be a little bit different next year, but this season they would pay nothing. So, there’d be a ton of interest in Bradley Chub, but once again, there is no value for Miami to trade Bradley Chub because of that 2026 dead cat unless they get like a first round pick out of it. And that’s like never going to happen. I have a better chance of winning the Power Ball tomorrow than Bradley Chub being traded for a first round pick. So, I ultimately think Chub stays on this roster this season. A postJune 1st trade in the offseason could ultimately happen, but he’s staying here at least through 2025 in my opinion due to just the financial implications of it. So, those are my top four Dolphins trade candidates before the deadline. Phillips one, Minka 2, Jaylen Wright three, and Bradley Chub numero 4. If I had to make my predictions a month from the or just a little bit a month away from the deadline, I think Phillips gets actually traded. I think Minka stays, Jaylen Wright is dealt, Bradley Chub stays out of these four. Maybe there’s going to be some other trades that happens. We’ll ultimately see, but we’ll have you covered with it all. So, subscribe today and join the family here at Miami Dolphins today. [Music]
