Miami Dolphins Acquire Kyle McCord from Green Bay Packers

The Miami Dolphins have made a significant change to their quarterback lineup by acquiring Kyle McCord from the Green Bay Packers. This trade involves the Dolphins sending a 2028 sixth-round pick to Green Bay.

In the past 24 hours, the Dolphins have reshuffled their quarterback depth chart, trading Quinn Ewers to the Jacksonville Jaguars and waiving Cam Miller and Mark Gronowski. McCord, who previously played for the Philadelphia Eagles and spent last season on the Packers' practice squad, will serve as the primary backup to Malik Willis, who recently signed a three-year contract worth $67.5 million.

McCord has connections to the Dolphins' coaching staff, particularly with passing game coordinator Kevin Patullo, who worked with him in Philadelphia. This familiarity likely influenced the Dolphins' decision to trade for McCord, as they exchanged Ewers for a player who fits their current needs. Meanwhile, Green Bay gains a future pick for a player who was unlikely to make their roster, given the presence of established starter Jordan Love and veteran Tyrod Taylor.
