The NFL trade deadline is now less than a week away, and the Miami Dolphins are much more likely to be sellers than buyers this year.

And if they lose their eighth consecutive loss to the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium, the chances they’ll be willing to move some veterans will increase exponentially, as a 2-6 record under that scenario would likely cause the organization to consider moving on. More about 2025 than the rest of the 2024 season.

It is unlikely that players like Tyreek Hill or Jalen Ramsey will be moved, even if high-profile wide receivers like Hill are transferred, due to the financial commitment the Dolphins made to them through contract extensions or restructuring in the offseason. is traded regularly.

No, if the Dolphins decide to trade a veteran (or two), the more realistic option would be a veteran who likely doesn’t fit into the team’s 2025 plans due to contract status or career stage.

If the Dolphins pull off the upset and win in Buffalo, It’s not impossible for them to try to add a veteran player at the trade deadline, but we think it’s probably a long shot.

Instead, let’s focus on players who could generate interest around the league and who the Dolphins might be interested in trading for.

That’s obvious, and it’s certainly because of where Campbell is in his career at age 38.

Campbell has been really impressive this season, an argument could be made that he could be the team’s MVP so far.

But given his age, this could still be Campbell’s final season despite his continued production, and he signed with the Dolphins in the offseason to chase a championship as much as to return to where he played his college football, in fact, probably even more so.

Among the teams that could be interested in Campbell’s services should be the Atlanta Falcons, for whom Campbell played last season. The Falcons lead the NFC South but have yet to get the desired results from some of their offseason acquisitions. Campbell’s first NFL team, the Arizona Cardinals, would make sense considering they are first in the NFC West and extremely weak on the defensive line.

Campbell may not be a great return due to his age, expiration time, and the uncertainty of whether he’ll just be a rental, but he’s played well enough that a team might even pass up a fifth-round pick on him. .

Yes, it’s crazy to suggest trading the pass rusher when the Dolphins can’t get to the quarterback, but remember it’s about looking forward, and also remember that the only reason Ogbah is on the team is because Shaq Barrett retired before his first South game. Florida training camp.

The aforementioned Falcons, who have a measly six sacks on the season, could be a team of interest here, and the same goes for the Detroit Lions, who continue to look for ways to collectively compensate for the loss of Aidan Hutchinson.

Like Campbell, Ogbah only signed a one-year deal and doesn’t have the stature to earn more than a very late-round pick or something like Ogbah and a sixth-round pick for a fifth-round pick.

Wilson has earned a regular spot on the inactive list because he sits behind Raheem Mostert, De’Von Achane and rookie Jaylen Wright on the depth chart, but he’s a solid veteran who could help any team looking for a third running back. wait a second.

Since returns are easier to find, the laws of supply and demand will keep any returns for Wilson fairly modest.

The reasoning behind the Dolphins being shaky on Holland is that he is a pending UFA and perhaps the decision to allow him to leave may have already been made internally, so why not pick up some draft picks now – if the season does indeed head south in our Dolphins hypothetical if it’s going. Lost in Buffalo.

Of course, the expiration of Holland’s contract will hurt his commercial value unless the buying team extends the contract. He’s had problems with his hand from his last injury and now with his knee.

This applies to an aging veteran who falls into the Campbell category, who is still performing at a high level but may not play for much longer.

It has also been documented that Armstead never played a full season due to injuries and considered retiring during the final offseason.

Maybe he’d want to go to a contender to finish his NFL career, and then the Dolphins could accelerate rookie second-round pick Patrick Paul’s learning curve if they wanted.

If Beckham is again an offensive secondary against Buffalo, can we really discount that possibility, especially with River Cracraft returning soon?

There’s really no need for Beckham to continue playing financially, but he did mention that he wanted to try writing a fairy book that would end his NFL career — and that didn’t actually happen. Perhaps it would be better to join a competitor for stretch running.
