should be one of the teams that are active at this year's NFL trade deadline, which is less than a month away. The Dolphins are 1-5 and headed in the wrong direction. This trade deadline gives the team a good opportunity to move away some of their veteran players and, in return, get a big load of prospects for the next couple of seasons. 

Miami has two pass rushers in Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips, who are starting to generate trade buzz around the NFL. 

NFL insider says teams are eyeing both Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips

According to Adam Shefter on the Pat McAfee Show, opposing teams are eyeing both Chubb and Phillips ahead of next month's deadline.

Bradley Chubb is still just 29 years old and has been featured on the field nearly 70% of defensive snaps this season. He's already recorded four sacks as well. Chubb was traded away from the Denver Broncos at the 2022 trade deadline and may be on the move again this year. 

Jaelen Phillips was a former first-round pick by the Dolphins in the 2021 NFL draft, but injuries have held him back in each of the last two seasons. Phillips has one sack this season, but like Chubb, he's played a large share of defensive snaps. 

As the trade deadline approaches in less than three weeks, keep an eye out for both Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips as potential names that could be on the move.
