Dolphins Reject Player Sales Despite 2-6 Season, Trade Deadline Approaches

The Miami Dolphins have struggled this NFL season with a 2-6 record, leading to speculation about potential trades before the November 4 trade deadline. Despite rumors suggesting the Dolphins might trade key players like Jaylen Waddle, Bradley Chubb, or Jaelan Phillips, team sources and head coach Mike McDaniel have dismissed these as baseless, indicating no plans to sell players. However, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Dolphins could trade at least one of their pass rushers, Phillips or Chubb, both of whom have contributed despite injury setbacks. The Dolphins' defense ranks low in points allowed, and with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's recent struggles and Hill's season-ending injury, the team faces significant challenges. Additionally, the Dolphins made roster moves placing cornerback Storm Duck on injured reserve and signing defensive back Ethan Robinson to the practice squad. These developments underscore the Dolphins' ongoing season struggles and the uncertainty surrounding their strategy moving forward.
