The Miami Dolphins are 0-4 to start their season, and that's not a good look for any NFL team. It was controversial when they let go of their head coach Mike McDaniel after last season, and now, it's looking like moving on from him isn't really working.
So, this season is getting off to a rotten start for the Dolphins, but that doesn't mean they don't have hope. It does mean that they're one of the teams that could benefit from a trade as Week 5 gets here.
The Dolphins could target Brian Thomas Jr.
On Tuesday, Alex Kay of Bleacher Report gave trade ideas for each of the NFL teams that haven't won a single game yet. He has the Miami Dolphins getting wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. and the Jacksonville Jaguars receiving a 2027 third-round draft pick.
"While it's far more likely the 'Phins will become a seller leading up to the November 10 trade deadline, they could take a stab at trying to win some games this year while also preparing for the future by trading for Jacksonville Jaguars wideout Brian Thomas Jr.," he notes.
He adds that when it comes to Thomas, "although the 2024 first-round pick quickly jumped out as one of the league's top wideouts when he tallied 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns on 87 receptions as a rookie, it's gone completely downhill since."
This trade would give him a fresh spot, and he might be able to get back to some of that glorious playing. In turn, the Dolphins wouldn't be giving up too much. It's a deal that would make sense, albeit not the flashiest deal.
