The Dolphins have agreed to trade wide receiver Isaiah Ford to the Patriots, as Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets. In exchange, the Patriots will send a 2022 seventh-rounder to Miami.

The deal will provide Cam Newton with a big-bodied receiver, similar to one-time Panthers teammates Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess. The former seventh-round pick has quietly been a key contributor in Miami this year, catching 18 passes for 184 yards in seven games.
Some have speculated that the Patriots could turn into sellers at the deadline but Bill Belichick has dismissed such talk all week. Instead, the Patriots have swung a small, but still significant, deal to bolster the offense. Meanwhile, on the other side of the ball, it sounds like star cornerback Stephon Gilmore will be staying put. The Patriots haven’t dismissed inquiries outright, but they have set a sky-high asking price of a first-round pick, plus a player.
Huge trade not lol
For a 7th rounder? I think he’s worth a bit more than that
I agree . he’s worth a fourth easy . he’s played well at every opportunity. he’s got good hands . miami is loaded on wrs that’s true but I don’t get this really at that price
Loaded? They got two decent ones…no?
Great low risk deal for New England. After pillaging the Patriots roster in free agency last season, old friend Brian Flores probably felt he owed one to his mentor in New England. With that said, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Patriots release Ford by week 11. That would be a typical Belichick deal. Just look at what they did with Sanu last year (which cost them a second round pick).
Isaiah Ford was great at VT and a quality individual on top on that. Dolphins never put him in a position to succeed except for this year when FITZ was throwing to him in the slot. Quality character and will succeed in NE. Good luck! The Dolphins lose out on this trade!
Not with Cam at QB but ok
Win never for Trevor?
Another receiver for fig Newton to overthrow/under throw.
I’ve been fan of this man since his signing in virginia. Great to see he’s moving up.
