Dolphins Trade for Packers QB Kyle McCord

The Miami Dolphins have acquired quarterback Kyle McCord from the Green Bay Packers in exchange for a 2028 sixth-round draft pick, completing a rapid overhaul of their quarterback room ahead of the 2026 season. The trade, reported on August 30, 2026, comes one day after Miami sent backup Quinn Ewers to the Jacksonville Jaguars for the same draft selection. The move provides the Dolphins with a new backup to starter Malik Willis, who signed a three-year, $67.5 million contract with Miami in the offseason. The acquisition followed the team's decision to waive quarterbacks Cam Miller and Mark Gronowski, leaving McCord as the primary backup.
