Biggest trades in Dolphins history

1. LB Nick Buoniconti

Upon being traded by the Boston Patriots in 1969, Buoniconti decided to retire. The Dolphins are glad he changed his mind because Buoniconti became the leader of the No-Name Defense and a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Buoniconti was acquired for seldom-used QB Kim Hammond and John Bramlett, a Pro Bowl linebacker.

2. G Larry Little

Little was a bargain twice over. He originally was signed by San Diego as an undrafted free agent for a $750 bonus. In 1969 he was traded for CB Mack Lamb, a former teammate at Miami's Booker T. Washington High. Little had started only four games for the Chargers but blossomed in Miami as the prototypical pulling guard. He started 158 regular-season games for Miami in a Hall of Fame career.

3. WR Paul Warfield

Warfield sandwiched five outstanding seasons with the Dolphins between two stints with the Cleveland Browns. Acquired for a first-round pick in an era when the Dolphins threw sparingly, Warfield made 156 receptions for 3,355 yards (a 21.5 average) and 33 TDs. Talk about a hot streak: From March 24, 1969, to April 13, 1970, the Dolphins made four consecutive trades involving Hall of Famers. The last of those trades was forced by the NFL when Miami sent a first-round pick to Baltimore as compensation for hiring coach Don Shula.

4. WR Tyreek Hill

The Dolphins handed Kansas City a first- and second-round pick, plus three later selections, for a receiver who made the Pro Bowl each of his six seasons and was an All-Pro three times. Hill was ranked No. 15 on the 2021 list of the league’s top 100 players.

5. RB Ricky Williams

Miami gave up two No. 1 picks to New Orleans for Williams, who amid ups and downs in Miami rushed for 6,436 yards and 48 touchdowns (trailing only Larry Csonka in both categories) beginning with the 2002 season.

7. LB Bob Brudzinski

Brudzinski was the first of two major trades the Dolphins made in the 1980s to shore up their linebacking situation. Obtained from the Rams for No. 2 and 3 picks, he missed only one start through his first six seasons with the Dolphins.

8. DE Trace Armstrong

Chicago received a No. 2 and No. 3 pick for this designated pass rusher. Armstrong led the AFC with 16.5 sacks in 2000 despite not starting a single game.

9. LB Hugh Green

The Dolphins were putting up points behind Dan Marino in 1985 but the problem was, opponents were, too. In October, Shula pulled off a rare in-season blockbuster trade, sending a No. 1 and No. 2 to Tampa Bay for Green, who had nine sacks his first two seasons in Miami and was named the team's top linebacker in 1985.

10. WR Irving Fryar

The Dolphins gave up second- and third-round picks to New England in 1993 for Fryar, who made the Pro Bowl his first two seasons in Miami. Fryar had back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and 12 total TDs. He also haunted his old team with 211 yards and three scores in the memorable 1994 opener, a 39-35 win for the Dolphins.

Dolphins' remaining 2022 draft picks

Wednesday’s trade with the Chiefs means that the Dolphins relinquished a first-round pick (No. 29), a second-rounder (No. 50) and one of their fourth-rounders (No. 121) in 2022.

Here are Miami’s five remaining picks as of today:

Rd. No.

3 102

4 125

5 158

7 224

7 247

Note: Miami’s first pick is in Round 3, 102nd overall. It would be latest Dolphins ever go until selecting, beating previous mark of No. 90 in 2002 (C Seth McKinney).

Years Dolphins had no first-round pick

Twice (in 1999 and 2002) the Dolphins had no first-round pick by virtue of multiple trades.
