Miami Dolphins and New Orleans Saints

New Orleans Saints Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Miami acquired young receiver Kenny Stills from New Orleans for linebacker Dannell Ellerbe and the 78th pick in the 2015 draft. Stills gave the Dolphins four productive seasons and was a legitimate deep threat. The Saints received useful linebacker play from Ellerbe and used No. 78 on defensive back P.J. Williams, who remained with New Orleans for years. Both sides gained value, but the two-piece Saints return lasted longer.

Assets Received

Miami Dolphins
  • Player Kenny Stills
New Orleans Saints
  • Player Dannell Ellerbe
  • Pick 2015 3rd round pick (78th overall, P.J. Williams)

Trade 2 of 2

Houston Texans and Miami Dolphins

Miami Dolphins Win Tier: landmark Confidence: high

Miami's Laremy Tunsil trade became one of the most valuable asset hauls of the modern era. Houston acquired a legitimate franchise left tackle and protected Deshaun Watson, so the Texans' side was not empty. But Miami extracted a massive premium, gained roster-building flexibility, and turned one elite tackle into the kind of pick package that can reshape a franchise. The verdict remains clear.

Assets Received

Miami Dolphins
  • Pick Johnson Bademosi, Julie'n Davenport, 2020 1st round pick (26th overall subsequently traded, Jordan Love), 2021 1st round pick (3rd overall subsequently traded, Trey Lance) and 2021 2nd round pick (36th overall, Jevon Holland)
Houston Texans
  • Pick Laremy Tunsil, Kenny Stills, 2020 4th round pick (111th overall subsequently traded, Solomon Kindley) and 2021 6th round pick (202nd overall subsequently traded, Chris Evans)
