Dolphins Eagles trade completed

Several mainstream media outlets are reporting the trade as finalized awaiting the formal announcement later today. Miami will swap first round selections with the Eagles moving from 8th overall to 13th overall in the April draft.

To put this into context, the Dolphins are not gaining much in the way of rookie pool relief. About $1 million max. Last years 8th overall selection signed a 4 year $12.9 million contract with a $7.6 million signing bonus. The 13th overall pick signed a 4 year deal worth $11.39 million and a $6.55 million signing bonus.

Where Miami loses out is at the top of the draft where Myles Jack could have fallen to 8th overall.
