"At 2-7, the Dolphins were expected to make at least one other move, with a number of teams possibly interested in Miami's veteran pieces who could benefit by a flip to a contender while the Dolphins stack draft capital past the midway point of a highly disappointing season. Miami reportedly fielded interest on wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and edge defender Bradley Chubb, according to ESPN shortly after the deadline, but opted to hold on to each."
"Chubb, after missing the 2024 season recovering from a significant knee injury at the end of 2023, has led the Dolphins in sacks in 2025, with four. He has been healthy, starting all nine games for Miami this year, with 25 tackles, five for loss, a forced fumble and fumble recovery. Fitzpatrick has appeared disgruntled since the trade within the final month before training camp which brought him back to the Dolphins, the team that drafted him in 2018, from the Pittsburgh Steelers."
The Miami Dolphins executed a single trade during the deadline, sending outside linebacker Jaelan Phillips to the Philadelphia Eagles for a third-round pick. The team evaluated offers on veterans including Jaylen Waddle and Bradley Chubb but chose to retain them. Miami fired ex-GM Chris Grier and interim GM Champ Kelly made the lone deadline move. The Dolphins sit at 2-7 and are out of playoff contention, prioritizing draft capital as the season falls short of expectations. Chubb has started all nine games with four sacks and 25 tackles. Minkah Fitzpatrick has 50 tackles, five pass breakups, an interception and a fumble recovery since returning.
