Packers trade quarterback Kyle McCord to the Dolphins for draft pick

Summary

The Green Bay Packers traded quarterback Kyle McCord to the Miami Dolphins on August 30, 2026, ahead of the league's 53-man roster deadline. In exchange, the Packers received a 2028 sixth-round draft selection. McCord previously signed with Green Bay as a reserve/future contract player and performed well during the preseason, recording 446 passing yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions across three appearances. The transaction indicates the Packers did not intend to roster McCord as the primary backup to Jordan Love, opting instead to secure draft capital before potentially losing him to the waiver wire. Following the move, Tyrod Taylor remains the only veteran backup quarterback on the Green Bay roster.
