The Miami Dolphins and Houston Texans finally made a trade this offseason, but it was one we didn’t expect. The teams basically swapped defensive players as the Texans sent Benardrick McKinney for Shaq Lawson along with a swap of late round picks. McKinney is a tackling machine recording more than 100 tackles in 3 of his 6 years in the league. The Dolphins were in need of a linebacker after the surprising release of Kyle Van Noy and the Texans needed some pass rush help. On the surface, it’s a win-win for both teams.
You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
