The Miami Dolphins continued their downward spiral in their Week 7 matchup against the Cleveland Browns, getting blown out 31-6 in a commanding defeat.
The Dolphins just can't seem to get it done this season. At 1-6, Miami touts one of the worst records in the entire league, and since the season-ending injury that Tyreek Hill suffered, the offense has not managed to stay consistent. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has regressed this season, throwing 10 picks already in seven games with only 11 touchdown passes, though head coach Mike McDaniel's job appears to be safe.
Bleacher Report's Doric Sam made the bold prediction after the Dolphins loss Sunday that the team will clean house with a blockbuster trade, bringing in Cleveland Browns polarizing quarterback Shedeur Sanders.

"The Browns have maintained patience with their development of Sanders, but he could be a strong trade chip if they choose to commit to Gabriel as their franchise quarterback," Sam wrote Sunday. "Teams like the Dolphins could surely use an influx of new energy, so it will be interesting to see if anyone seriously pursues Sanders ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline.
"Tagovailoa's continued struggles could lead to major changes in Miami, as McDaniel remains on the hot seat after another loss. The Dolphins will try to end their three-game skid when they visit the Atlanta Falcons in Week 8."
Sanders has been one of the most polarizing rookies this season, despite not playing a single snap yet. The 23-year-old quarterback excelled at Colorado State last season, completing 74% of his passes for 4,134 yards and 37 touchdowns, and has a lot of potential. If Tagovailoa's struggles continue, the echoes to trade for another quarterback like Sanders will only get louder.
