Miami acquired veteran defensive end Council Rudolph. Rudolph's documented NFL playing career ended after the 1977 season, and he did not appear in a regular-season game for the Dolphins after the trade, leaving Miami without realized on-field value from the acquisition. The hindsight grade is D, with the overall verdict recorded as Tampa Bay Buccaneers Win.
