The Miami Dolphins looked like a playoff team in Week 8.
They bounced back from a tough loss and rallied to dominate the Atlanta Falcons on the road.
Nevertheless, the Dolphins have just two wins, have lost their best weapon in Tyreek Hill, and after all that has transpired, it’s hard to believe that head coach Mike McDaniel and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa can fully rescue the season.
With that in mind, chances are that Miami will be sellers before the upcoming NFL trade deadline.
Considering that, ESPN insider Adam Schefter revealed two players who will most likely be heading elsewhere.
“I think the Dolphins will move at least one of their pass rushers, Jaelan Phillips or Bradley Chubb,” Schefter said.

The Dolphins’ defense has been disappointing this season.
Even so, most of their losses have been close, and they’ve had some unlucky breaks that kept them from winning a few of those games.
But their record is what it is, and with the playoffs likely out of reach, they might be better off adding draft assets.
Tagovailoa hasn’t played well this season, but moving on from him would cost a lot against the salary cap.
As such, acquiring picks for players might be the only way to get out of the mess they find themselves in.
Phillips and Chubb have been bright spots and should fetch a worthy return in any deal.
If the Dolphins lose to the Baltimore Ravens on “Thursday Night Football,” they and some others might be moving on before the Nov. 4 cutoff.
