Miami Dolphins fans spent Tuesday's NFL trade deadline waiting for something to happen. As is typical of the team, nothing did. Fans were once again let down by executive leaders who can't see the bigger picture.
Champ Kelly and the team managed to pull off a trade for Jaelan Phillips on Monday, but with talent to give and a season full of disappointment, Miami opted to stay the course with their current roster and the hopes of turning around a franchise that needs more than just a group of Jaylen Waddle's and De'Von Achane's.
The Dolphins' decision to sit out the flurry of trades isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it sends a message that they believe they are closer to competing in the division than the fan base believes.
