More breaking news as the Raekwon McMillan era in Miami has gone from in trouble to over in a span of just over an hour this morning. The Miami Dolphins have reportedly agreed to trade the fourth-year linebacker to the Las Vegas Raiders this morning just minutes after the report first surfaced that McMillan might be on the outs.
The trade is being reported by the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson.

Jackson also includes that “both sides” of this from the Dolphins perspective “mutually agreed this was best.” The Dolphins have been pushing McMillan in camp for two consecutive seasons and his limitations are apparent for a defense that wants athletes who can play in space. McMillan is at his best in a phone booth. And so he’ll move on to the Raiders ahead of the 2020 season and Miami will indeed get compensation for a departed player.
