Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker is not on the trade block, a source told Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald this week. The Dolphins believe that Parker is having a solid training camp, though Salguero personally disagrees with that assessment. 
Some have speculated that the Dolphins could shop Parker thanks to the presence of Kenny Stills, Danny Amendola, Albert Wilson, and Jakeem Grant. However, they won’t have an opportunity to showcase Parker to interested teams thanks to his broken finger. Even if the Dolphins wanted to explore a trade, Salguero estimates that they would not get more than a fourth or fifth-round pick in exchange for the former first-round selection.
In all likelihood, Parker will be with the Dolphins when the season starts in September. However, the same cannot be said for former third-round pick Leonte Carroo.
Parker hauled in 57 catches for 670 yards and one touchdown last season. His average of 11.8 yards per catch marked a career low.
Can someone tell me why they would trade him? I know it’s the Dolphins but He’s the only big, tall receiver they have out of Stills, Amendola, Wilson, and Grant.
Yeah, unless Dez is going to Miami there is nothing to this. Maybe trying to get feelers for the trade deadline?
Probably just gauging value…I would think he still has some potential even if he is injury prone
Addition by subtraction. But Parker has no trade value. It doesn’t matter if he’s a big-body type if he’s unwilling to fight for the ball or consistently get separation. Neither of which is one of his strengths.
