The Miami Dolphins, as had become expected, ended up doing absolutely nothing at the NFL trade deadline. But they still wound up getting some help in a roundabo

The Miami Dolphins are 2-6 at the NFL trade deadline. That makes it hard to envision them as heavy buyers or sellers before the 4 p.m. deadline on Tuesday. It would make sense for the Dolphins to trade a late-round pick for an edge rusher, defensive tackle or guard/center, if the team and terms aligned.

Say this for Miami Dolphins bosses Mike McDaniel and Chris Grier. They usually do what they say. The NFL trade deadline was one of those times. McDaniel on Monday signaled that the Dolphins weren’t going to be sellers and didn’t have any deals close to making them buyers.
