The New England Patriots traded interior offensive lineman Caedan Wallace to the Miami Dolphins for a 2028 sixth-round pick, while sending a 2029 seventh-round pick in return. Wallace, originally drafted to be a future right tackle, struggled to find his footing and was demoted to third string in training camp. This trade allows the Patriots to gain draft capital and free up cap space, increasing their 2026 cap space by approximately $339,392. With Wallace’s departure, only two of the eight original selections from the post-Bill Belichick draft remain on the roster.
