Miami Dolphins fans woke up to shocking news on Tuesday, when it was reported that the Dolphins had traded away one offensive star and is prepared to part ways with another.
Armando Salguero took to Twitter on Tuesday morning to report that the Dolphins had traded Jay Ajayi to the Philadelphia Eagles for a 4th round draft pick.

Moments later, Salguero also tweeted out that while Pro Bowl wide receiver Jarvis Landry is still on the team, the Dolphins are reportedly willing to part ways with him as well for the right compensation.

With last week’s 40-0 loss still looming, and head coach Adam Gase’s recent comments about the Dolphins’ offense ringing the ears of his players, it’s clear that the front office felt a need to blow up aspects of their roster and start from scratch.
These shocking developments come as the NFL’s 3 p.m. CT trade deadline fast approaches. With several hours to go, who knows which fan favorites will still be in Miami.
