Strange trade for the Dolphins. JJ is right. Why would you give BB any talent even if it is for a 3rd and cap space. Just makes your own situation more difficult.

Parker isn't very good. If I were them I'd have tried to trade him outside the division but that return is good value for the Dolphins.

  Especially only 3.4M in space. I’m sure the Dolphins think he’s more trouble than he’s worth. But somehow, someway, BB gets a talent at lowest value and has no downside in this. Added bonus of making Dolphins look bad. But you can’t make it this easy for him. 
 

   The Pats have talent on offense, but Mac Jones has got to adjust to going downfield more. Teams started flooding the underneath zones and he couldn’t make throws that would back them off. Jones has to learn how to hit a curveball this year. And without McDaniels.

That logic kind of annoys me. They were getting that 3rd regardless as a comp. It’s not relevant to the Parker trade so he doesn’t come free…

Brilliant trade by the Patriots

DEVANTE PARKERWR, NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Patriots acquired WR DeVante Parker and a 2022 fifth-round pick from the Dolphins for a 2023 third-round pick.

The Patriots had been active on the trade market, checking in with the Panthers about WR Robby Anderson at the Combine. Parker had interest from the Eagles in addition to the Patriots but will stay in the AFC East. It's a good landing spot for Parker, as he wouldn't have been higher than the No. 3 option in Miami. Mac Jones doesn't offer much in terms of a quarterback upgrade, and the Patriots are one of the league's most run-heavy teams, but Parker has a clearer path to targets in New England. Parker, who has two years and $17 million remaining on his contract, may end up a one-year rental with only $2.7 million of his 2023 salary guaranteed

Mac Jones is what he looked like he was - a very polished but physically limited QB prospect. He's basically Jared Goff.
