The Miami Dolphins are in the middle of a major roster teardown and rebuild, as they look to move on from the Tua Tagovailoa era with sweeping cuts and trades.
Of their moves, the Jaylen Waddle deal was the most notable, as it fully signified the depletion of their offensive supporting cast in the receiving game, an odd choice with the $67.5 million Malik Willis signing.
That isn't stopping them from landing help for Willis. Bleacher Report's Moe Moton named the Dolphins as a suitor for a trade with the Atlanta Falcons for tight end Kyle Pitts in a very odd move for the Dolphins, who are in the middle of a rebuild.
Dolphins oddly linked to Kyle Pitts trade with Falcons
"Based on the Dolphins' wide receiver and tight end groups, Pitts would be their go-to target in the passing attack," Moton writes. "He could post career numbers in an offense built around him."
Moton naming the Dolphins as a possible landing spot for Pitts doesn't make much sense for the veteran tight end on the final year of his deal.
Miami doesn't need to land short-term help; they need to acquire players who are going to be around for the long-haul.
That doesn't mean they won't trade or sign players on one-year deals, but spending a lot to pick someone like that up doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

In theory, adding Pitts to the Dolphins' offense would be fun. He'd get plenty of volume and would be a fun young weapon to bolster the offense.
Butt, he's just a one-year rental, and for a rebuilding team trying to stock up on draft picks, spending those resources on a tight end who only broke 1,000 yards in his rookie year would be an odd move to make.
Using a third-round pick to take a tight end would make a lot more sense, as the Dolphins could get that player at a relatively reasonable cost for the next four years, and on a very cheap contract as well.
Miami being named as a landing spot for a Pitts trade doesn't make much sense. If he were a free agent, that would be one thing. But to spend a decent amount of capital on Pitts would be a very strange move for the Dolphins.
