2. Miami trades cornerback Noah Igbinoghene to the Indianapolis Colts for a 2023 3rd round pick.

It hurts to write this, but after another week of being inactive, it seems to me like 2020 first-round pick Noah Igbinoghene may never reach his full potential. Well, that is in Miami, of course. Miami should stop wasting a roster space, and every single week they have him inactive, his value goes down more and more.

However, this is the NFL, and it is not hard to sell a general manager on untapped potential, which is why Miami should do with Igbinoghene. The perfect team to trade Igbinoghene to would be the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts have shown they are not afraid to get aggressive and trade for players with question marks, as you could tell by their trade to acquire quarterback Carson Wentz.

Miami may not get a 3rd round pick, but they should push for one, and I think the Colts are just so banged up and thin at cornerback, they may decide they will just pull the trigger on the deal. Indy would get a cornerback that has potential, and the Dolphins would move on from another failed draft pick.

It would be a sad end to the Igbinoghene era in Miami, but sometimes you just have to accept a mistake and move on.
