Green Bay Packers trade Kyle McCord to the Miami Dolphins

The Green Bay Packers traded quarterback Kyle McCord to the Miami Dolphins on August 28, 2026, in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the 2028 NFL Draft. McCord, who was waived by the Philadelphia Eagles last year, performed well during the preseason with a 102.4 passer rating across 46 completions for 446 yards and four touchdowns. In Miami, he joins passing game coordinator Kevin Patullo, a former Philadelphia Eagles assistant. McCord is expected to serve as the primary backup behind Malik Willis, another former Green Bay Packers quarterback. The transaction concludes recent speculation regarding the Miami Dolphins' interest in acquiring a backup signal-caller to bolster their roster depth. The trade confirms the team will not pursue other potential targets like Tanner McKee or Andy Dalton.
