The Philadelphia Eagles have traded Kiko Alonso and Byron Maxwell to the Miami Dolphins for pick compensation.

Alonso and Maxwell were two prominent additions to the Eagles' defense made last offseason by Chip Kelly.

Maxwell agreed to a six-year, $63 million contract, but was inconsistent in coverage and recorded just two interceptions and 64 tackles.

The Dolphins were ranked 25th in total defense last season and struggled against both the run and pass.
