Any deadline deals made by the Dolphins will be the owner's call

The Miami Dolphins are reportedly considering potential trades ahead of the NFL trade deadline, with interim General Manager Champ Kelly involved in discussions. However, any significant trade decisions will ultimately require approval from team owner Stephen Ross. Among the players speculated to be involved in trade talks is wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, whose contract is considered favorable at $28.5 million per year. Waddle is viewed as a valuable asset for the team's future, potentially fetching significant returns if traded. The timing of any trade involving Waddle remains uncertain, as acquiring draft picks before the deadline would yield the same benefits as those obtained in off-season transactions. The situation suggests possible strategic planning for the team's future, though there is no indication of an immediate intention to trade Waddle.
