Another trade

Dolphins receive:
DT Jordan Phillips (83 overall, 24 years old)
WR Quincy Enunwa (81, 25)

Steelers receive:
WR Philly Brown (83, 24)
FS Briean Boddy-Calhoun (81, 25)

Dolphins will incur a $550k cap penalty to turn $5.86 mil in cap hits into $5.52 mil in cap hits

Steelers will incur an $890k cap penalty to turn $6.41 mil in cap hits into $5.31 mil in cap hits

The Dolphins are deep at WR and offensive options that while Brown has been an excellent reserve in his three seasons with the league (one in Miami), they can afford to see him go. At FS, they employ a 28-year-old Tony Jefferson, arguably the best at his position. With backup FSs seeing little playing time, he had no future in Miami, or at least a path to more playing time. Getting back Enunwa means very little as he's likely a one-and-done but he fills the WR hole that Brown left and at a lower cost. The prize is Phillips helping restock a DL that has seen three players already depart in the offseason. There's a chance that he will be lost in RFA next offseason, but this is an excellent use of non-starting player personnel to shore up a glaring weakness while also saving cap and filling an expensive hole.

The Steelers had been targeting Brown, and they get two potential starters (Calhoun will compete at FS) better than what they currently. Brown is both a ratings and stats upgrade over Enunwa, and DL is an area of strength right now, so they felt comfortable taking away their weakest member to help fortify the secondary.

The Steelers understand the trade parameters, the financial impact, the history of all players involved, and what both teams could achieve from this trade. It is now official
