The Miami Dolphins have acquired offensive lineman Caedan Wallace from the New England Patriots for a 2028 sixth-round pick and a 2029 seventh-round pick. This move is part of Miami's roster rebuild under new head coach Jeff Hafley, moving away from a veteran-heavy team to a younger roster. The Dolphins aim to find unproven talent and maximize potential as they prepare for a preseason matchup against the Washington Commanders on Friday.
