Julio Jones trade rumors: 5 NFL teams that should trade with Falcons
Julio Jones trade landing spot No. 2: Miami Dolphins
It’s really a shame that the Miami Dolphins didn’t make it into the 2021 NFL Playoffs. After a 10-6 season and a Week 17 loss to the Bills, they were left on the outside looking in. However, one shouldn’t ignore the fact that head coach Brian Fores and general manager Chris Grier have this franchise well ahead of schedule in the rebuild.
And the next step is to fully unlock the potential of the offense, especially now that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is in the fold. Since the Week 17 loss, there has been talk of the Dolphins possibly taking a quarterback in the 2021 draft but that’s absurd. And the fact that Grier gave the youngster a vote of confidence as the team’s signal-caller moving forward.
In addition to continuing to construct a stalwart offensive line, the Dolphins could also stand to deepen and improve the wide receiver position. DeVante Parker has stepped up big over the past two years but has also dealt with injuries, the latter of which is true for Preston Williams. Point blank, the Dolphins don’t have a game-changer at the position.
We all know that Miami is flush with draft capital, which was by Grier’s design to rebuild this team. So they obviously have the arsenal of picks that would be necessary to complete a Julio Jones trade. And if they want to put Tua and the offense in position to take the next step, the veteran superstar could be a good way to go about their business.
