The Miami Dolphins traded running back Chase Edmonds, a 2023 first-round pick, and a 2024 fourth-round pick (via the San Francisco 49ers) to the Denver Broncos for pass rusher Bradley Chubb and a 2025 fifth-round pick.
Edmonds fell out of favor in Miami, but he figures to compete with Melvin Gordon and Latavius Murray for the lead job in the Broncos' backfield committee. The 26-year-old only ran the ball 30 times in the last seven games after a 12-carry opener. The Dolphins acquired Jeff Wilson from the San Francisco 49ers in a separate transaction.
Edmonds was a backup on a Dolphins team that runs the ball at the seventh-lowest rate in the league (36.7%), but he will now have an opportunity to play a larger role in an offense that is 15th in run rate (41.5%). However, that doesn't mean Edmonds will be able to take advantage of the situation, as he ranks second-worst in Rushing Net Expected Points per carry among all backs with 40 attempts this season. The only qualifying back behind Edmonds is Gordon.
