Dolphins acquire former third-round pick in trade with division rival
The Miami Dolphins needed more depth along the offensive line, so they've acquired a former Day-2 pick in a trade with one of their division rivals.
The Miami Dolphins have strengthened their offensive line by acquiring former third-round draft pick Caedan Wallace from division rival New England Patriots. The trade, finalized on Monday, involved the Dolphins sending the Patriots a 2028 sixth-round pick in exchange for Wallace and a 2029 seventh-round pick. Wallace, who stood at 6-foot-5 and 320 pounds, played college football at Penn State from 2019 to 2023 before being selected in the third round of the 2024 NFL draft by the Patriots.
Despite expectations of him becoming a starter, Wallace struggled with injuries during his rookie year and had limited playing time in the 2025 season. Given Miami's current need at the tackle position, the Dolphins see value in Wallace's addition to their roster. This acquisition comes as the Dolphins have been struggling with backup tackle performances at the beginning of their training camp.
