According to Michael Lombardi of The Athletic, the Dolphins have spoken to several teams about trading WR DeVante Parker and have grown frustrated with the former first-round pick.
- Lombardi adds that Parker might be the next player sent packing by Dolphins HC Adam Gase.
- However, a league source tells Adam Beasley that the Dolphins are not trying to trade Parker.
- Lombardi points out that the Dolphins said previously that they were not trying to trade Jarvis Landry and wanted to sign him to a long-term deal last year before sending him to the Browns.
Parker actually came up as a potential trade candidate during the preseason, but the Dolphins elected to hold onto him.
Parker, 25, is a former first-round pick out of Louisville by the Dolphins in the 2015 NFL Draft. He is entering the final year of a four-year $ 10.876 million rookie contract and is set to earn a base salary of $1,918,164 in 2018.
The Dolphins picked up Parker’s fifth-year option this offseason that will cost them $9,387,000 for the 2019 season. It’s worth mentioning that the fifth-year option is only guaranteed for injury.
In 2018, Parker has been limited to appearing in just one game and catching two passes for 40 yards receiving and no touchdowns.
We’ll have more regarding a potential trade involving Parker as the news is available.
