The Miami Dolphins are exploring options to enhance their draft capital ahead of the 2026 NFL draft, where they currently hold 11 selections, the most in the league alongside the Jacksonville Jaguars. A hypothetical trade proposed by FOX Sports' Ralph Vacchiano suggests the Dolphins could send linebacker Jordyn Brooks to the Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for a third-round pick (No. 72 overall) and a sixth-round pick (No. 221 overall). Brooks, a former first-round pick in the 2020 NFL draft, has had a standout career, recording 326 tackles, 10 quarterback hits, 6.5 sacks, and earning accolades such as leading the league in tackles in 2025. Although he is entering the final year of his contract, management has indicated a desire to build around him, raising questions about the team's direction amidst a roster overhaul led by new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley. The potential trade could further complicate the Dolphins' rebuilding efforts as they aim to integrate young talent into their squad.
