The Splash Zone 5/9/23: Are Dolphins still looking for help at running back?

When D’Andre Swift became available for trade during the 2023 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins were one of the possible suitors for the running back. Now the Dolphins brought back all of their running backs from last season, so you would expect that they wouldn’t be looking to add to the backfield and they even drafted Devon Achane in the third round. Rumors continue to swirl around the Dolphins and Dalvin Cook too, but the team would need to clear up some cap space if they wanted to add the veteran. So are the Dolphins still looking to add some help for their running back room?

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
