Summary

Miami Dolphins miss critical opportunity at trade deadline despite Bradley Chubb's mounting contract concerns. Should they have followed the Jets' aggressive rebuild blueprint? Kyle Crabbs breaks down the Dolphins' decision to trade Jalen Phillips while declining offers for Jaylen Waddle and Bradley Chubb. The analysis reveals Chubb's complex contract situation—over $20 million in 2026 salary with significant incentive money at stake—and why Miami's inaction represents a missed chance to clear salary. The episode contrasts this approach with the New York Jets' dramatic teardown, trading Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas for multiple first-round picks. Crabbs examines the AFC East rebuild race, 2026-2027 draft positioning, and why the Dolphins now have less draft capital than division rivals heading into crucial offseason decisions. Discover why Miami's conservative deadline strategy could impact their competitive timeline through 2027.
