Last week, the Miami Dolphins engaged in a joint practice and preseason game with the Washington Commanders. In light of this event, a question was posed: If you could select any player from the Commanders’ roster to join the Dolphins, who would it be and who would you cut from Miami’s roster in exchange?
Despite an initial mix-up in team names, fans contributed a variety of thoughtful responses. Alley Gator expressed a desire for Jayden Daniels, a rookie quarterback, citing his affordability and potential to weather pressure behind the Dolphins’ offensive line.
