Fins Up, Fins Down | Week Nine

Hey, remember way back when the Dolphins lost to the Ravens by a score of 28-6 on Thursday Night Football? In some respects, that loss feels like a lifetime ago. Since then, general manager Chris Grier and the club decided to “mutually part ways,” EDGE rusher Jaelan Phillips was offloaded to the Philadelphia Eagles in a trade that netted the Dolphins a 2026 third-round selection in return, and rumblings have started about quarterback Tua Tagovailoa potentially being benched in order to secure more losses in 2025 to procure a higher first round selection in the 2026 NFL Draft — even...

Dolphins trade Jaelan Phillips to the Eagles – The Splash Zone 11/4/25

Dolphins trade Jaelan Phillips to the Eagles – The Splash Zone 11/4/25

The Miami Dolphins have been rumored to be open to moving some of their players and those rumors came true yesterday. The Dolphins traded away one of their edge rushers, Jaelan Phillips, to the Philadelphia Eagles for a 2026 third round pick. While Phillips has been a disruptive pass rusher, he just hasn’t been able to stay healthy which is a common theme with this Dolphins roster. It stinks to see him go, but the Dolphins need to begin looking towards the future and making tough business decisions with a few of their players.

Dolphins set as big home underdogs to Bills in Week 10

Dolphins set as big home underdogs to Bills in Week 10

It probably should not come as much of a surprise, but the Miami Dolphins opened as big underdogs against the Buffalo Bills in Week 10. Miami is 2-7 on the year, are likely sellers as the NFL trade deadline approaches, and have already made one major move as former general manager Chris Grier has left the team. What was supposed to be a bounce back year after missing the playoffs in 2024 has turned into the start of a rebuild for Miami.

The Bills, meanwhile, despite back-to-back losses in Weeks 5 and 6, are looking like the team everyone expected...

NFL trade deadline 2025: What 2026 NFL Draft picks do Miami Dolphins hold?

NFL trade deadline 2025: What 2026 NFL Draft picks do Miami Dolphins hold?

The NFL trade deadline is quickly approaching, with just over 24 hours before the 4 p.m. Eastern limit on Tuesday, November 4. The Miami Dolphins have already made one move, sending linebacker Jaelan Phillips to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a third-round draft pick. There are several other moves the Dolphins could make as they find themselves in rebuild mode after starting the season 2-7.

While the players who could be sent away as the Dolphins become sellers under interim general manager Champ Kelly, the other assets the team has could be just as interesting. Miami is starting to...

Miami Dolphins trade rumors: Who else could be dealt at 2025 trade deadline?

The Miami Dolphins conducted their first 2025 in-season trade on Monday, sending linebacker Jaelan Phillips to the Philadelphia Eagles, and it likely will not be their last move ahead of Tuesday’s 4 p.m. Eastern trade deadline. The Dolphins, sitting at 2-7 on the season and needing a roster rebuild, are expected to be sellers at the deadline, and they may have made a major front office move to make sure they do look to the future rather than trying to salvage this year. The team and former general manager Chris Grier agreed to part ways over the weekend, allowing [Champ...

Miami Dolphins’ Most Valuable Player | Week Nine | Back Down to Earth

Miami Dolphins’ Most Valuable Player | Week Nine | Back Down to Earth

After a rousing performance against the Atlanta Falcons in week eight — a game that saw Miami win by a score of 34-10 — the Dolphins came crashing back down to Earth in week nine when they hosted Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football.

Miami lost 28-6 — another defeat in primetime witnessed by the entire world.

However, this loss came with a sparkling silver lining. Just one day following Miami’s latest embarrassment, general manager Chris Grier and the Dolphins decided to “mutually part ways,” mercifully ending Grier’s tenure which can be summed up simply as...

Miami Dolphins trade Jaelan Phillips to Philadelphia Eagles

Miami Dolphins trade Jaelan Phillips to Philadelphia Eagles

Early Monday morning, it was announced by multiple media outlets that the Miami Dolphins are trading EDGE rusher Jaelan Phillips to the Philadelphia Eagles for a third round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

The move comes just days after the Dolphins and long-time general manager Chris Grier decided to mutually part ways, with reports following the departure saying that Grier was hesitant to trade many of Miami’s top stars. With interim general manager Champ Kelly holding the reins of the franchise, clearly the Dolphins’ trade strategies have changed.

Phillips, the 18th overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft, leaves...

What’s next for the Dolphins – The Splash Zone 11/3/25

The NFL trade deadline is tomorrow and the Miami Dolphins are one of those teams rumored to be open to moving some players. That wasn’t the case a few days ago, but after parting ways with Chris Grier and Champ Kelly serving as interim general manager, it seems very likely the Dolphins could be trading some of their top players. All eyes are the edge defenders with Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb garnering the most interest while Matt Judon could also be moved. The team is also open to moving Jaylen Waddle, but a team has to blow them away...

Could Dolphins bench Tua Tagovailoa? Could Jaylen Waddle be traded?

Could Dolphins bench Tua Tagovailoa? Could Jaylen Waddle be traded?

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa leads the league with 11 interceptions and has not looked comfortable running the offense for much of the season. The offensive line has not done him any favors, allowing a ton of pressure to get into his face, and even when the opposing defense does not break through, Tagovailoa’s internal clock has him rushing through his progressions and forcing passes he should not be making.

It has been frustrating to watch. While it is not the only ailment for a Dolphins team sitting at 2-7 on the season, it is a big part of the...
