The Miami Dolphins found an unexpected trade partner this offseason, adding center Daniel Kilgore from the San Francisco 49ers just a month after he signed a contract extension with the bay-area club. The trade ultimately led to the request for a release from incumbent Dolphins center Mike Pouncey, who also did not want to take a pay-cut as requested by the Dolphins, a request the Dolphins have honored.
Why was Kilgore suddenly available for the Dolphins? What is Miami getting in their new center? I asked David Fucillo from Niners Nation, SB Nation’s 49ers team site, for a little insight into Kilgore.
