Last week, as the Washington Commanders visited for a joint practice and preseason game, I posed a question to fans: If you could take any player from the Commanders to add to the Miami Dolphins, who would it be and why? Additionally, which Dolphins player, expected to make the regular season roster, would you cut in the process?
Despite mistakenly referencing the Falcons in the question, fans understood the intent, and here are some of the standout responses:
Alley Gator expressed interest in acquiring an exciting rookie quarterback for added insurance.
Jayden Daniels was suggested due to his affordable rookie contract and the expectation that he will see playtime this season, considering concerns about the Dolphins’ offensive line.
Saskatchefin wanted to improve the defense with a couple of key players. He mentioned Daron Payne to fill the defensive tackle spot left by Wilkins, and Jeremy Chinn to bolster the safety positions.
sdphinsfan aims for a potential star rookie tight end, naming Ben Sinnott as a promising option. He praised Sinnott for his blocking skills, hands, and ability to gain yards after the catch.
