On Sunday, the Miami Dolphins made a trade with the Houston Texans that swapped DE Shaq Lawson for 2018 Pro Bowler Benardrick McKinney, according to multiple reports. The deal also included a swap of late-round picks.

Lawson was one of Miami’s bigger free-agent signings last year, as he was brought in to help be a consistent run stopper and occasional pass rusher.
