The Miami Dolphins traded Isaiah Ford to the New England Patriots back in October to create more playing time for their stable of young receivers.
Even though Ford was respects as one of the Miami Dolphins’ smartest receivers, which helped him excel in the team’s offense during the past two seasons, the organization needed to find a way to create more opportunities for Lynn Bowden Jr. and Malcolm Perry, and a roster spot for Antonio Callaway, whose NFL suspension had concluded, so the Dolphins traded Ford to its divisional rival for a 2022 conditional sixth-round pick.
When the Patriots waived Ford earlier this month with the hopes of re-signing him to their practice squad the former Virginia Tech receiver used it as an opportunity to return to South Florida, where his career started as a 2017 seventh-round pick out of Virginia Tech, and he’s laid roots.
