Miami Dolphins trade Jaelan Phillips for a third-round pick as the franchise shifts into evaluation mode. Was this the right move, or should interim GM Champ Kelly have executed a bigger teardown at the deadline?

Kyle Crabbs breaks down why the Dolphins held firm on Bradley Chubb and Jaylen Waddle, analyzes the Andre Carter II signing from the Detroit Lions practice squad, and delivers injury updates on James Daniels, Austin Jackson, and the controversial Liam Eichenberg situation. The centerpiece is a comprehensive roster evaluation identifying which players are long-term solutions versus problems—from Aaron Brewer's elite center play and De'Von Achane's three-down value to a secondary in desperate need of rebuilding. Jordyn Brooks emerges as the defensive anchor, while approximately 40% of the current roster earns keeper status for the franchise's future.

Discover which Miami Dolphins players are building blocks for the rebuild and which need to be replaced this offseason.
