The Miami Dolphins sat back and watched Carson Wentz get traded to the Indianapolis Colts this week and while they were never really a landing spot for the quarterback, there is an interesting and ironic twist to it all.

We need to go back a few years, 2016 to be exact. The Miami Dolphins were looking to upgrade their defense and made a deal with the Philadelphia Eagles to bring Byron Maxwell and Kiko Alonso to the Dolphins.
