While you were sleeping (maybe), the busy Miami Dolphins made a trade

The Miami Dolphins had so much fun on the opening day of NFL free agency on Thursday they kept things going into Friday morning.

On Friday, the Dolphins made a deal with the Los Angeles Rams grabbing defensive end William Hayes for a sixth round draft pick in the upcoming draft. Miami also got a seventh round selection in the deal.

Hayes adds pass-rushing depth to the Dolphins to go along with Cameron Wake.

A starter for the Rams, Hayes had 26 1/2 sacks in five seasons in St. Louis and Los Angeles.

Hayes, 31, was a fourth-round pick by Tennessee out of Winston-Salem in 2008 and has 34 1/2 sacks in nine seasons with the Titans and Rams.
