They are receiving a 2028 sixth-round pick in return.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Miami took Ewers in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL draft following a collegiate career at Ohio State and Texas, where he earned All-Conference honors twice. In three starts with the Dolphins as a rookie, he led the team to a 1-2 record while completing 66.3% of his passes for 622 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">While Ewers entered this offseason as the main backup, he never really took advantage of the opportunities the team gave him. Now, he&#8217;ll go back up Trevor Lawrence, and the Dolphins will have to decide who will support Malik Willis.<\/p>\n<p>Your fantasy edge starts here <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (fantasy)|e|auto spike click:5|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/fantasy.usatoday.com\/\">Sync your league for custom roster advice, projections, and tools to win your matchups every week.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Updated Aug. 29, 2026, 5:31 p.m. ET The Miami Dolphins are cutting down their roster from 91 players&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":384896,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[31,116,118,117,115432,10773,10774,298,4844,336,39,420,2577,342,332,442,307,154238,10077,300,34],"class_list":["post-384895","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-accessfree","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news","tag-sourcedolphins-wire","tag-sstssportsnfldolphins","tag-sstsndolphins","tag-tagamerican-football","tag-tagbig-ten-conference-football","tag-tagespn-inc","tag-tagflorida","tag-tagjacksonville-jaguars","tag-tagmiami-dolphins","tag-tagnational-sports","tag-tagnfl","tag-tagnfl-hub","tag-tagoverall-negative","tag-tagquinn-ewers","tag-tagsmg-breaking-wire","tag-tagsports-news","tag-typestory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=384895"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384895\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/384896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=384895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=384895"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=384895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
