The Miami Dolphins are back on the road this week after a two-game homestand. In their Week 10 matchup, Miami will face the Indianapolis Colts, a team expected to compete in their division this year but that has seen everything slip away through the first half. The Colts made several trades ahead of last Tuesday’s deadline, adding draft stock for a rebuild they didn’t expect to need in 2027.
The Dolphins, meanwhile, are continuing their rebuild, having started the process in the offseason with a new
front office and coaching staff, as well as a major roster turnover. The 2026 season was never going to be about wins and losses, but about the team adjusting to a new coaching philosophy and system, while the 14 rookies on the roster grew and developed. The goal remains consistent winning football in the future rather than trying to catch lightning in a bottle for one season – especially when that plan has failed to produce any success for the Dolphins over the years.
This week’s game features two teams in similar positions, though Miami is about eight months ahead of the Colts on the rebuild timeline.
What hurts Indianapolis even more is that, even if they clinch a top pick in the 2027 NFL Draft, they have already traded it to the New York Jets. The Colts acquired cornerback Sauce Gardner from New York during the 2025 season; in his 12 games with Indianapolis (four in 2025, eight in 2026), he has no interceptions, 10 passes defensed, and 42 tackles. Is that enough to justify the trade compensation, or would the Colts rather have that pick back, knowing they will likely have to fully rebuild the roster?
Today’s game could have major implications for the Draft and the order for the first round. How will it all play out?
