Dolphins surprisingly named as landing spot for Falcons 1000-yard TE

Dolphins surprisingly named as landing spot for Falcons 1000-yard TE originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The Miami Dolphins are in the middle of a major roster teardown and rebuild, as they look to move on from the Tua Tagovailoa era with sweeping cuts and trades.

Of their moves, the Jaylen Waddle deal was the most notable, as it fully signified the depletion of their offensive supporting cast in the receiving game, an odd choice with the $67. 5 million Malik Willis signing. That isn't stopping them from landing help for Willis.

Bleacher Report's Moe Moton named the Dolphins as a suitor for a trade with the Atlanta Falcons for tight end Kyle Pitts in a very odd move for the Dolphins, who are in the middle of a rebuild. Dolphins oddly linked to Kyle Pitts trade with Falcons "Based on the Dolphins' wide receiver and tight end groups, Pitts would be their go-to target in the passing attack," Moton writes. "He could post career numbers in an offense built around him.

" Moton naming the Dolphins as a possible landing spot for Pitts doesn't make much sense for the veteran tight end on the final year of his deal. Miami doesn't need to land short-term help; they need to acquire players who are going to be around for the long-haul. That doesn't mean they won't trade or sign players on one-year deals, but spending a lot to pick someone like that up doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
