When the Miami Dolphins traded tight end Jonnu Smith to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday, it was reported that they had already engaged with teams on potentially trading for his replacement. However, not many expected the Dolphins to trade for a player who had recently retired.

The Miami Dolphins are acquiring Darren Waller from the New York Giants, about a year after the veteran tight end announced his retirement from the NFL.

The Miami Dolphins' trade for previously retired tight end Darren Waller draws major questions from NFL analysts over the fit and the plan for Miami going forward.
