Dolphins consider trade of LB Willie Gay Jr. amid depth issues
Summary

The Miami Dolphins are evaluating potential trades for veteran linebacker Willie Gay Jr., according to Bleacher Report. Following the 2026 NFL Draft, which saw the team add Jacob Rodriguez and Kyle Louis to an already deep linebacker room, Gay may be at risk of not making the 53-man roster. Gay, who joined the Dolphins in 2025 after playing four years with the Kansas City Chiefs, has logged limited playing time, and his role could diminish further with the influx of new talent. The Dolphins signed Gay to another one-year contract this offseason, but roster decisions may lead to him being traded for draft assets before the season begins.
