The Green Bay Packers and Miami Dolphins will be intertwined for years to come. Miami’s head coach (Jeff Hafley) and general manager (Jon Eric Sullivan) have deep ties to Green Bay. Not to mention their starting quarterback Malik Willis spending the last two seasons as Green Bay’s backup quarterback.
However, the two teams are now being named in a trade involving a tight end.

Packers And Dolphins Named In Tight End Trade That Would Shake Up Both Sides
Three seasons ago the Packers completely gutted their tight end room. Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis were both released in free agency and in that same year they took Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Fast forward three years and Kraft appears to be a superstar in the making. That has left Luke Musgrave a possible trade option:
Fox Sports’ Ralph Vacchiano suggests that the Packers could separate the duo. On his list of potential trades for AFC teams, Vacchiano mentioned Jon-Eric Sullivan, former Green Bay executive and now the Miami Dolphins general manager, and Jeff Hafley, former Packers DC and now Dolphins HC, could find a way to acquire Musgrave.
In this trade scenario, the Packers would get the 151st pick from Miami. The interesting aspect for Green Bay is that Musgrave is entering the final year of his rookie deal.
“First, the Dolphins should be in fire sale mode, getting rid of every valuable asset they have for draft picks. But while they’re doing that, they can’t leave new QB Malik Willis without help on offense, especially if they’re trying to see if he can be their quarterback of the future.
So it makes sense to bring at least one familiar weapon from Green Bay with him. Musgrave didn’t exactly light it up for the Pack after Tucker Kraft tore his ACL last year, but he’s still a 6-foot-6 target with good receiving skills who has been battered by injuries in the first three years of his career. There’s an upside and the cost could be low, since Kraft is coming back to the Pack.” — Ralph Vacchiano
