1. Miami trades DeVante Parker to the Philadelphia Eagles for running back Miles Sanders and a 2022 5th round pick

I know some DeVante Parker fans out there will hate this, but the fact of the matter is Parker missed a game last week, and the Dolphins have never really been able to count on him. Parker is solid, but Miami should get something in return for him and go let him be solid somewhere else.

Parker’s contract is too high for what he brings to the Miami offense too, so Miami could save some money with this trade.

Miami would also be adding a running back I am very high on. I had Sanders ranked as the No. 1 running back in the 2019 NFL Draft, and I still feel like he has a ton of talent. The only issue is the Philadelphia Eagles do not use him, as their new head coach Nick Sirianni does not believe in running the football.

Sanders needs a change of scenery. He and the Eagles are not a good match. I am sure Sanders would enjoy leaving Philly and getting a fresh start to showcase his skills.

Miami would add Sanders and a 2020 fifth-round pick in this deal, which is a great haul for Parker, in my opinion. Sanders would immediately become Miami’s RB1 and give them a bell-cow running back they could trust.
