Dolphins Attempted To Trade For Matthew Stafford Before 2018 Draft

Mar 26, 2019 3:10 PM

The Miami Dolphins attempted to trade for Matthew Stafford before the 2018 season.

Adam Gase wanted to replace Ryan Tannehill at quarterback with an upgrade. Gase reached out to Matt Patricia personally about a potential deal.

Talks never reached a serious point but it is believed the Dolphins would have at least offered their own 2018 first round pick.

Tannehill was traded to the Tennessee Titans last week for a fourth-round pick in the 2020 draft.

Eagles Proposed Change To Dallas-Detroit Thanksgiving Tradition

Mar 22, 2019 8:29 AM

The Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions have hosted Thanksgiving games annually for decades, but the Philadelphia Eagles briefly attempted to change that.

The Eagles submitted a proposal for a change in the league resolutions that would have seen the Lions and Cowboys continue to play on Thanksgiving each year, but to play on the road every other year.

However, the Eagles withdrew the proposal perhaps over concerns that it had no chance to pass.
