How about this trade...
Dolphins trade their #90 pick, James McKnight, and Darryl Gardener to the Washington Redskins for their #18 pick.
Result: Dolphins get a first round pick, lose James McKnight only to be replaced by Cris Carter for a similar price, drop Darryl Gardener's salary and sign DE in the process. Washington gets proven DT that they need and a speedy WR they are looking for.
Then,
Dolphins trade #18 pick and Patrick Surtain to Detroit for their #3 pick and their #35 pick.
Result, Jamar Fletcher moves into Surtain's spot. Dolphins sign quality nickel back and save $4 million in the process.
Detroit gets out of their pick as planned and gets young, proven CB, a need position. Dont want to take a chance with Jammer.
Miami now has saved about $8-10 million in salary each over the next 5 years. They sign a veteran durable DE and a nickelback and Cris Carter to take the place of the three they traded away.
Total Savings: $6 million. They draft McKinnie at OT with the third pick and get him for 5 years. Cost $3 million per.
They draft DE Dwight Feeney, TE Daniel Graham, or OG Kendall Simmons, whoever is available with the #35 pick.
OR they pick OG Fonoti with the 18th pick and keep Surtain.
Would you pull this off?
We would have a dominant OL for years to come and free up some money in the future to be more flexible.

BIG PROBLEM THERE!!!!!! you have not taken into account the excellerated signing bonus' there. Those big contracts would KILL our cap this year and next year if we trade them. That will never ever happen, not half enough cap room to deal.
There is a reason there aren't many trades, especially blockbuster deals in the NFL......The SALARY CAP!!!!!

You're right, I did forget about the accelerated signing bonuses. With that in mind, even if we did trade away both guys, We wouldnt be able to afford good replacements for them and would barely be able to afford the picks.
But maybe we can trade for #18 and get Fonoti. That would be one hole to fill. But who would Washington take with maybe the exception of DG?
They really need to do something about the salary cap. And for drafted rookies. No one wants the top ten picks cuz they are so expensive to sign! Carr's deal was ridiculous. For a guy a year ago that no one would have thought to get drafted in the first round. Perhaps they should model it after the NBA. But it is tough working with 51 cap numbers and not 12.

You can't deal Surtain because of the bonus money, I am not sure about Gardener.
