The Dolphins’ latest quarterback idea could come with a price Buffalo fans would love to watch them pay.
Miami already looks like a team headed in a very different direction than the Bills. Buffalo remains built to win now, while the Dolphins have leaned into a full rebuild under a new regime. Their roster has changed fast, with several notable players released or traded, and the picture around the franchise looks a lot more like a team chasing the No. 1 pick in the 2027 NFL Draft than a playoff run.
That’s what makes one recent trade proposal stand out. Justin Carter of FanSided.com floated the idea of Miami sending a 2027 fifth-round pick to the Cleveland Browns for Shedeur Sanders.
" I'm a huge Willis fan. I think he's going to prove he deserves a long-term deal as Miami's starting quarterback. But considering how important the position is and that the current No. 2 is Quinn Ewers, I think an upgrade there is warranted, and while Sanders struggled a lot of the time as a rookie, he has more upside than Ewers in the event that Willis proves to be a bust and the Dolphins need to quickly pivot and see if anyone on their roster can be the quarterback of the future." said Carter.
" Yes, there are larger concerns in Miami. There's no wide receivers.
The front seven could use a ton of help, as could the defensive backfield. Trading for Sanders shouldn't be a priority, but it's also not the worst idea in the world."
Carter added.
The fit would create an immediate quarterback conversation in Miami, something few would have expected heading into the season. Sanders is entering his second year with the Browns, and the source material says he showed some signs of promise last season.
For the Dolphins, a move like that would be about trying to sort out the position now instead of waiting. But it would also carry a real downside: it could chip away at their chances of landing a top pick in 2027.
That’s the part Buffalo fans would enjoy most. The idea of Miami trying to chase wins now, only to jeopardize its shot at the kind of draft position that could reshape the franchise, is exactly the sort of misstep Bills supporters have seen from the Dolphins before.

Keon Coleman Just Reached A Turning Point Bills Fans Feared
Keon Coleman enters his third season in Buffalo with the kind of pressure that comes when potential starts running out of runway. The Bills have reshaped the receiver room and put a new staff in place under Joe Brady, which means every snap, every practice rep and every detail matters more than it did a year ago. For Coleman, who has flashed enough to stay in the conversation but not enough to lock anything down, the next step is no longer about upside. It is about holding onto a role on a team that has made it clear competition will sort out the depth chart.
The challenge is bigger because the Bills have already seen enough uneven play and off-field friction to wonder whether he can be counted on week to week. Coleman has had moments that hint at a useful future, but the overall body of work has left the door open for others to push past him. With Buffalo adding more talent and the coaching staff looking for reliability, this season has become the one that will define whether Coleman is part of the long-term plan or just another receiver trying to survive a crowded room.

Joe Brady Could Change The Bills Where It Matters Most
Joe Bradys promotion earlier this year gave the Bills a new voice at the top, and the biggest change may not come from the play sheet. The conversation around him has centered on how his style could reshape the feel of the building, from the way players carry themselves to the way the team handles pressure after years under Sean McDermotts steadier, more controlled approach.
Brady is viewed as more player-driven and more willing to let personality show, which is why his influence could reach beyond scheme and into the teams confidence. For Buffalo, that matters because Josh Allen has often been asked to conjure something special when games tighten, instead of simply settling into the rhythm the defense gives him, and the hope is that a different tone in the locker room could help the Bills play with a little more freedom in 2026.

Bills Have Another Big Play Receiver Fans Need To Watch
Quentin Skinner arrived in Buffalo in July after a winding start to his pro career, giving the Bills another long-bodied receiver to evaluate as camp competition heats up. The former Kansas standout came in via waivers after a stop with the Jets, and his profile is easy to understand: he can stretch the field, he has size, and he adds another different look to a receiver room that already has plenty of bodies fighting for attention.
The challenge is just as clear. Skinner is one of 14 receivers on the roster, and that kind of crowd usually means a player spends most of his time working behind the top groups while trying to carve out a niche wherever he can. For Buffalo, the appeal is obvious if he can translate that deep-threat ability into something more dependable, but his route to the 53-man roster still feels like one of the more difficult ones to sort out.
