The Miami Dolphins remain winless on the season — sitting at 0-5 after a much needed bye week this past Sunday. As the team continues to try and get better, the vultures have already begun circling. According to various reports, teams have been ringing general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan to check on the availability of certain players in regards to potential trades.
Dolphins veteran defensive tackle, Zach Sieler, is one such player.
On Monday, Sieler met with the South Florida media, and the defensive
lineman was asked about the possibility of being traded away from the Miami Dolphins as the trade deadline approaches.
“I know people say rumors or talk, or whatever, this time of year, but you know, I’m here focused playing games here to win for the Dolphins, man. I think we’re doing a great thing and I’m excited for this next week coming up — coming off the bye ready to roll.”
Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post then asked Sieler directly if he would be open to being dealt to a contender this season.
“I love it here. I’ve been here for how long? I want to win here as a Dolphin. I think [head coach Jeff] Hafley and [general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan] Sully did an amazing job here. I’m excited to see this team is growing and [to see] where we’re going — let’s get some wins.”
At 31-years of age, no one would blame Sullivan if he did decide to unload Sieler for some extra draft capital. However, according to Sieler, it seems he wants to remain a member of the Dolphins for the foreseeable future. The National Football League’s trade deadline is three weeks and a day from today — on Tuesday, November 10th. We will see if Miami’s longtime defensive stalwart continues to wear aqua and orange past that consequential day.
