The Dolphins made a trade for Darren Waller, which might not pay dividends when the season does come. In this proposed trade the Dolphins get a way more reliable tight end than Waller.

The Miami Dolphins' trade for previously retired tight end Darren Waller draws major questions from NFL analysts over the fit and the plan for Miami going forward.

Attempting a comeback after suddenly retiring last offseason, former Giants tight end Darren Waller received enough interest to generate a trade with the Miami Dolphins. The Giants gave up Waller and a 2027 seventh-round pick in exchange for a 2026 conditional sixth-round pick.
