Miami Roster Shakeup
Dolphins Trade For Quarterback Kyle McCord And Waive Mark Gronowski
Anonymous
The Miami Dolphins are waiving backup quarterback Mark Gronowski and acquiring Kyle McCord from the Green Bay Packers, NBC Sports reports. Miami will send a 2028 sixth-round pick to Green Bay for McCord, who signed with the Packers on a futures contract in January. The move comes after the Dolphins traded Quinn Ewers to Jacksonville and waived Cam Miller at quarterback.
McCord had a standout preseason performance with Green Bay, JSON-line reported, and will serve as backup to Malik Willis in Miami. Gronowski may join the Dolphins practice squad if he clears waivers. McCord has not yet practiced or played in preseason with the Dolphins.
Dolphins Revamp Quarterback Room After Two Trades
Miami's quarterback depth chart shifted dramatically this offseason. The team traded Quinn Ewers to Jacksonville, then waived Cam Miller. Now, with McCord's arrival, the Dolphins aim to solidify their backup position. Marshfield News Herald noted McCord was brought in to back up Malik Willis, an ex-Packers signal-caller.
Why the Packers Traded Away Their Rising Backup
Green Bay signed McCord to a futures contract on January 20, giving him a path to the active roster. Despite impressing in preseason action, the Packers chose to trade him rather than keep him as a backup option. The sixth-round pick swap suggests Green Bay valued future draft capital over retaining McCord's services.
McCord Heads to Miami With No Prior Team Practice
McCord's transition to Miami comes without any reps in team practice or preseason games. He will need to learn the Dolphins' playbook and get acclimated to his new offensive system quickly. Willis remains the primary backup, with McCord positioned as a third-string option for now.
