Patriots Trade Caedan Wallace To Dolphins

The move turns an expected waiver into a late-round pick, signaling the Patriots’ push to trim the offensive line and prioritize players who fit their current roster plan.

Overview

  • The Patriots sent offensive lineman Caedan Wallace and a 2029 seventh-round pick to the Miami Dolphins for a 2028 sixth-round pick, a deal the teams announced Monday.
  • New England had planned to waive Wallace earlier the day, but the late trade recovered marginal draft capital instead of releasing him for nothing.
  • Wallace played in 10 games with two starts over 2024–25, missed time after an ankle injury, and was moved from tackle to guard before falling down the 2026 depth chart.
  • The trade produces only modest cap savings for the Patriots and swaps late-round picks, while Miami used Day-3 draft capital to guarantee acquiring a low-cost developmental lineman.
  • The deal trims New England’s 2024 draft class further and clears a roster spot as training-camp cuts approach, while Wallace will now compete for a backup or swing role in Miami and could face the Patriots twice in 2026.
