The Miami Dolphins have traded linebacker Raekwon McMillan to the Las Vegas Raiders, according to a report from the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson. The trade comes as the Dolphins look to shake up the linebacker corps, with Elandon Roberts and Kamu Grugier-Hill likely taking snaps away from McMillan this year. The Dolphins, who have a versatile defense with linebackers that fill multiple roles, simply did not have a place for McMillan to reach his potential as a run-stuffing middle linebacker.
No report on compensation had been made.
