Kyle McCord trade to Miami

The Green Bay Packers traded quarterback Kyle McCord to the Miami Dolphins for a 2028 sixth-round pick, according to Adam Schefter. The move fills Miami's backup quarterback spot after the Dolphins traded QB Quinn Ewers to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Green Bay had depth at quarterback with starter Jordan Love and Tyrod Taylor on the roster. McCord's preseason performance made him expendable, and the Packers converted his emergence into draft capital.

Miami’s starter is QB Malik Willis, signed in free agency. McCord slots in behind him as the backup.

What this means for fantasy rosters

McCord has no immediate fantasy value in redraft formats. In dynasty leagues, he is worth a roster spot only if your league carries deep quarterback rooms. His path to starts depends entirely on Willis missing time.

If you are rostering Willis in any format, this trade does not change his outlook.
