Blockbuster Bradley Chubb trade ‘completes’ Dolphins roster, NFL analyst claims: "They're on the same level as Bills, Chiefs"
The Miami Dolphins finally made the Bradley Chubb trade yesterday, and it has bolstered their squad. The Dolphins are currently one of the most exciting teams in the NFL and are going all in for a Super Bowl run this season.
Chubb was on the market and many teams were interested in him. Ultimately, the AFC East team landed the star pass-rusher from the Denver Broncos. It will certainly improve their defense, which has looked a little shaky this year.
New Dolphins’ pass rusher Bradley Chubb, who is 26 years old, now will be paired with budding edge player Jaelan Phillips, who is 23 years old.
Miami needs them. The Dolphins have only 15 sacks this season.
Former NFL player Emmanuel Acho was delighted with Bradley Chubb's trade to the Miami Dolphins. Acho thinks this move has made the Dolphins a serious contender.
Here's what he said on SPEAK:
"Miami Dolphins have now one of the best rosters in all of football. The Miami Dolphins are undefeated when Tua starts and finishes games. The Miami Dolphins beat the Buffalo Bills."
Acho continued:
"What are the Miami Dolphins' weaknesses? They can't really rush the passer and thus they have to blitz. What did they just get? A sack master who's capable of getting two sacks in a game, in any given game."
Acho further talked about how the Dolphins are now on a similar level to the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills:
"The Miami Dolphins are capable of doing things that no other team in football including the Chiefs and the Bills can do. If Tua Tagovailoa is as good as I believe he is, the Miami Dolphins are on the exact same level as the Chiefs and the Bills."
The Dolphins are undefeated this season whenever Tua Tagovailoa finishes the game for them. The acquisition of both Bradley Chubb and Jeff Wilson has significantly increased their chances against the rest of the AFC come postseason.

The Dolphins are expected to work out a new longterm deal with new pass rusher Bradley Chubb, per sources.
There is a sense around the league that Chubb and the Dolphins will agree to a new deal soon.
So far in his career, Chubb has played five seasons. He has 107 solo tackles, 63 assists, 26.0 sacks, a fumble recovery and an interception. With Miami very excited to have landed their man, we will see if he can live up to their expectations.
