The Dolphins continue to explore moving veterans.
Miami has had discussions with teams about moving running back Kenyan Drake, according to a report from FOX Sports.
More Dolphins trade news, team has had trade talks with teams this week about RB Kenyan Drake
— Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) September 15, 2019
Drake, 25, has rushed for just 31 yards on 10 carries in the Dolphins two games so far this season.
Drake was originally selected by Miami out of Alabama in the third round of the 2016 draft. He has scored nine rushing touchdowns in 50 career games.
The Dolphins have been noncompetitive in their loses to the Ravens and Patriots this season and multiple players have reportedly contacted their agents with the hopes of being traded away from the team. Miami coach Brian Flores, however, denied that report during a press conference last week.
“I can’t really speak to the accuracy of that one," Flores told reporters at the time. "We haven’t received any information like that. I think for us, we just need to focus on what’s going on inside of our building, and not worry about anything that’s going on outside. I think we have to get better from a fundamental standpoint, from a communication standpoint — really overall. That’s the goal right now. Everything else that’s going on outside, we just need to focus on what’s going on in our building.”
Miami has also reportedly given defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick permission to seek a deal elsewhere.
The Dolphins are apparently in rebuilding mode and have parted ways in the last few weeks with multiple veterans, including trading offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil to the Texans, a move which reportedly upset the locker room.
