DeVante Parker says he wanted to be traded to the New England Patriots.

The Miami Dolphins then honored his request.

"I chose to get traded here," Parker said. "My agent [Jimmy Gould] hit me up, just telling me what the situation was, and the options I had for the teams to go to. The first on my list was the Patriots. I'm just excited we were able to get everything done."

Parker was the odd man out after the Dolphins traded for Tyreek Hill and also signed Cedrick Wilson.
