Could Dolphins Move Kenny Stills?

Stills isn't going anywhere because he just signed a new contract and we would take a cap hit north of $3M by trading him.

People who think we should trade Kenny Stills because of Jakeem Grant do not understand that Kenny Stills has a borderline elite talent when it comes to running vertical pass routes. He has some deficiencies as a receiver to be sure, but he's exceptional at doing one thing, and it's a valuable thing that is important to the offense Adam Gase wants to run.
Not every football player can track those high fly balls well in the air. Not every football player can judge the angle of the ball while running flat out down the field. Not every football player can take that knowledge and adjust to the football to catch it in stride or get position on a defender to get it.
A couple of years ago, I joked that Mike Wallace needed laser eye surgery. I bet Stills has 20/10 vision, or close to it.

There's where your logic fell apart, thinking Stills is only a deep threat.
Has a tendency to fall in love with individual players who don't do **** outside of preseason (usually undersized LBs who they are convinced is the next Zach) and lock onto players who actually contribute, wanting to trade or release them and constantly looking for ways to do it.
I don't get the disdain for Stills. I really don't. And we'll see it all year, regardless of production.

still remember Stills dropping that wide-open td, and so i vote we trade him. he needs like a one-handed grab in the end zone for a game-winning playoff victory before i like him.
I'll assume you're joking because of the level of ridiculousness, but I honestly don't know, given the number of times I've seen people still whine about that one drop that was more than made up for by his play the rest of the season, which was key to us making the playoffs.
Of course!! Lets sign him long term, then move him! Brilliant! Gtfo.
besides everything that has been said in this thread already, i just want to add that we'd have to eat 17 mil in dead money if we traded Kenny Stills now. let's not and say we did

You going to blame him for allowing Russell Wilson to march down the field on our defense for the game winning TD too.
