Summary

Kyle Crabbs breaks down why the Dolphins dealt their productive edge rusher despite paying a portion of his salary to facilitate the move. The analysis reveals shocking statistics: Miami now has five top-100 picks in 2026—one less than they made in the previous four drafts combined. The discussion covers the catastrophic asset management under the previous regime, why this "bad medicine" is necessary despite Phillips' recent strong play, and how the Chase Young trade provides historical context for the return value. Key topics include potential moves involving Minkah Fitzpatrick and Tua Tagovailoa's uncertain future after reports suggest he could be benched this season. Crabbs examines why the Dolphins must resist free agency shortcuts, embrace a proper rebuild through draft capital, and potentially face record-breaking dead cap money in 2026. Discover why this trade signals a fundamental shift in Miami's approach to roster construction.
