Overview
- Miami completed one deadline move, sending edge rusher Jaelan Phillips to the Eagles for a third-round pick, and kept its core intact.
- Multiple outlets report Miami set steep prices, seeking at least a first-rounder for Jaylen Waddle and a second-round pick plus for De’Von Achane.
- Ian Rapoport reported significant league interest in Achane, but teams balked at the cost given his contract-year timeline and anticipated payday.
- After a 30–13 win over the Bills, Achane said he wants to remain a Dolphin, while Waddle and Achane both produced in the victory.
- Interim GM Champ Kelly handled deadline calls following Chris Grier’s firing, and McDaniel said no offer “moved the needle” to justify further moves.
