The Miami Dolphins agreed to a trade Monday to acquire Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Julius Thomas for undisclosed compensation, a source told ESPN's Adam Caplan, confirming multiple reports.
Thomas also will restructure his contract upon completion of the trade, which cannot be officially announced until March 9 at 4 p.m. ET, which is the start of the league year.
Both teams were in heavy trade talks throughout the past week. The initial scenario, according to sources, was to swap Dolphins starting left tackle Branden Albert for Thomas. Albert was in Jacksonville Monday to take a physical.
