The Miami Dolphins are making waves this offseason, signaling a major rebuild with the release of key players like Tyreek Hill and Bradley Chubb. Amidst these changes, the futures of Tua Tagovailoa and Minkah Fitzpatrick hang in the balance, sparking curiosity about potential trades involving Jaylen Waddle and De'Von Achane.
According to ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques, Dolphins General Manager Jon-Eric Sullivan has shed light on these swirling trade rumors. Sullivan emphasized that while the Dolphins are open to listening to offers for Waddle and Achane-as they would for any player-the current plan is to keep both talents in Miami.
This revelation is a game-changer. While the Dolphins won't ignore calls from interested teams, it doesn't mean they're eager to part ways with Waddle or Achane. The strategy for now is to have both stars on the roster for the 2026 season.
Retaining their standout running back and wide receiver suggests the Dolphins are not settling into a prolonged rebuild. Instead, they seem poised to bounce back into competitive form sooner rather than later.
Sullivan's approach involves careful consideration of any trade proposals, but the intent to keep Waddle and Achane underscores their importance to the team's future. These players are central to Miami's plans moving forward, indicating a focused effort to reestablish the Dolphins as contenders.
