Miami Dolphins Reportedly Seek Trade for Browns Rookie QB Dillon Gabriel

The Miami Dolphins face significant challenges with their quarterback depth behind starter Tua Tagovailoa, whose injury history raises concerns. Despite adding Zach Wilson and drafting Quinn Ewers in the seventh round, former NFL quarterback Kurt Benkert predicts Miami may trade for Cleveland Browns rookie Dillon Gabriel, who was highly regarded by Miami before being drafted by Cleveland. Gabriel is praised for his poise, accuracy, and mobility, and is seen as a strong scheme fit with athletic upside, potentially making him a preferred backup or future starter compared to current options. The Browns' crowded quarterback room, including Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Shedeur Sanders, and the potential return of Deshaun Watson, increases the likelihood of a trade involving Gabriel. Meanwhile, speculation also surrounds Tagovailoa's future, with some suggesting he could be traded after the season, though his trade value may be limited due to injury concerns. Overall, Miami appears poised to reassess its quarterback situation this season, possibly leveraging trades to strengthen the position behind Tagovailoa.
