Dolphins acquire offensive lineman Caedan Wallace from Patriots
Summary

The Miami Dolphins traded a sixth-round pick to the New England Patriots for offensive tackle Caedan Wallace and a seventh-round pick on August 12, 2026. Coach Jeff Hafley noted that the organization had a high opinion of Wallace coming out of the draft and emphasized the need for depth and competition on the offensive line. Wallace, who started 40 games at right tackle in college, struggled with the Patriots, playing limited snaps in his two NFL seasons. The Dolphins aim to leverage Wallace's versatility as they deal with injuries on the offensive line during training camp.
