Dolphins' Strategic Benching for Draft Pick
Update: 2025-12-22
Description
The Miami Dolphins, out of playoff contention, strategically benched quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine in their final games. This move, while seemingly performance-based, is a calculated maneuver by interim general manager Champ Kelly to secure a compensatory draft pick. By limiting Westbrook-Ikhines snap count, the Dolphins aim to qualify for an extra selection in the 2026 draft, demonstrating forward-thinking in a challenging season.
