5 Trades The Dolphins Could Make After Chris Grier’s Shocking Departure

3. Jaelan Phillips to the Kansas City Chiefs

Speaking of first-round pass rushers, Jaelan Phillips will be a free agent at the end of the season. Rather than risk losing him for nothing, the Miami Dolphins might as well consider trades from teams across the league. While just about every contender should have some interest, the Kansas City Chiefs make the most sense as a potential landing spot.

Phillips isn’t anything special as a run defender, but he excels as a pass rusher. In theory, he’d be most effective on a team that plays from ahead and would find itself facing pass-happy defenses. That team should be the Kansas City Chiefs, as this offense is nearly unstoppable with a healthy Rashee Rice and Patrick Mahomes.
