Dolphins’ next 2 games will shape their NFL trade deadline plans

The Dolphins’ next games will determine a lot.

As the NFL trade deadline draws near, teams are examining their rosters to find players they no longer want on the

team or areas where they can make improvements. This also applies to the Miami Dolphins.

Chris Grier, the general manager, is aware of the Dolphins’ areas for improvement and who is disposable. However,

those who were hopeful the Dolphins would make a move soon may be let down. If Miami makes any moves at all,

they’ll probably wait until the very last minute.

The next two games will be against the Arizona Cardinals at home and the Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park. Those two

games should have a big impact on what Grier does or doesn’t do.

Why the Dolphins could be buyers at the trade deadline

The Dolphins will cut a divisional gap if they defeat the Cardinals and Bills. If the Bills lose to the Dolphins, their

record would be at most 6-3. Miami’s record would rise to 4-4. With nine games left, the Dolphins may fall one game

behind Buffalo for the division if the Bills don’t use their bye week.

The Dolphins might try to acquire a superior edge-rusher. They might try to strengthen the offensive line, but if they win both games, that probably won’t happen. Grier wouldn’t squander money on a lineman, for sure.

The offensive line and outside linebacker/defensive end positions are now the team’s major needs. Although they

may benefit from some wide receiver and safety assistance,

If the Dolphins save their season in the next two weeks, they should consider buying at the deadline.

Why the Dolphins could be sellers at the trade deadline

The season is finished for the Dolphins if they lose their next two games. They would barely be surviving if they lost

the next two.

The Dolphins should probably be sellers right now. It is necessary to shop for Raheem Mostert, Tyreek Hill,

Emmanuel Ogbah, and Jevon Holland. Although the majority of the fan base would not support the proposal, the

Dolphins must look to the future, free up salary space, and raise additional funds in order to strengthen their roster

at 2–6.

Although the Dolphins have stated that they will not trade Hill, should anyone be excluded if nothing changes?

Dolphins could do absolutely nothing at the trade deadline

The question is, what are the Dolphins doing if they split, lose both, and win both and remain inactive until the

deadline? The Dolphins are claiming that their current roster is ideal the way it is by not making a trade, but that is

untrue.

Years of poor player retention, overspending for some positions, and poor draft selections hurt the team’s future. It’s

not a big concern if they don’t make a trade before the deadline, but they must take into account every scenario that

could occur this offseason.

This is challenging because the Dolphins are not in the process of rebuilding. They will have to add better players to

the roster than they already have as the offseason approaches. Grier must avoid having a significant number of

players on one-year contracts or exorbitant two-year deals, even though they will have the funds to do so.

The 2024 trade deadline is quickly approaching, and Miami’s strategy will be important to watch as it will impact

both this season and the following one.
