Dolphins will waive Mark Gronowski, add Kyle McCord

Miami sends a 2028 sixth-round pick for McCord, who is expected to back up Malik Willis after Quinn Ewers was traded away.

  • On Sunday, the Miami Dolphins acquired quarterback Kyle McCord from the Green Bay Packers in exchange for a 2028 sixth-round draft pick. McCord becomes the backup to starting signal-caller Malik Willis.
  • Miami moved for a new backup after trading Quinn Ewers to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday and waiving Cam Miller. The Dolphins also plan to waive Mark Gronowski, creating roster space for McCord.
  • McCord completed 65.7% of his passes for 446 yards and four touchdowns during the 2026 preseason. In Friday's 42-38 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, he hit Kisean Johnson for a 10-yard touchdown in the final seconds.
  • The Packers traded McCord to avoid losing him on waivers, opting to retain veteran Tyrod Taylor as the backup to starter Jordan Love. Taylor brings 62 career starts to Green Bay's roster.
  • Miami's move reflects the team's connection to Green Bay, with former Packers executive Jon-Eric Sullivan and Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley now leading the organization. This acquisition taps into the Packers' roster pipeline.
