2. DeVante Parker, WR

Much in the same vein as Harris, DeVante Parker has been a bust for the Dolphins. It felt like every year was going to be the “breakout season” for the physically gifted wideout but that time has never come. In fact, it was a true shocker this offseason when Miami even elected to re-sign him for another year.

Ironically, though, Parker has actually flashed a bit in the 2019 season, despite the overall struggles of this team. And though he’s never delivered on them to this point, the physical tools that the receiver brings to the table will always make some scouts and coaches salivate. If some NFL team is interested in trying to give their wide receiver corps a jolt, they might take a look at Parker and, for a solid price, the Dolphins should make that deal.

1. Xavien Howard, CB

Outside of Christian Wilkins — who I don’t see being on the table for a trade — Xavien Howard might be the most valuable asset remaining on the Miami Dolphins roster. The cornerback earned a monster payday from the Dolphins and, at times, has delivered on it. The problem with Howard, though, is his consistency. He can look like the best corner in the league one week and then a replacement-level player the next.

The highs of Howard’s play, though, make him intriguing trade bait. The Dolphins need talent on their roster in a bad way but could also benefit from clearing more cap space to help their rebuild along. Shipping Howard off would help them accomplish exactly that and, if a secondary-needy team should be willing to take on his contract, Miami should think hard about cutting ties with the corner.
