Is an immediate fire sale coming in Miami?

The Miami Dolphins have appointed Champ Kelly as interim General Manager ahead of the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. ET. Kelly faces the task of reshaping the team by potentially trading current roster members, as most players are reportedly available. The objective is to acquire draft picks, reduce salary commitments, and create future cap space. This move may influence Kelly's prospects of securing the permanent GM position.

Notably, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, who returned to the Dolphins from the Steelers, is among the players who could be traded. Other key players, such as pass rushers Jaelan Phillips, Bradley Chubb, and Matt Judon, as well as receiver Jaylen Waddle, are also considered potential trade assets. These decisions come amid speculation about the Dolphins' competitive intentions. With 13 games remaining in Week 9, the demand for players could increase due to injuries, impacting trade considerations.
