The DeVante Parker deal is the seventh between the Patriots and the Dolphins since Bill Belichick took over as head coach in 2000. The most significant deal has in 2007 when the Patriots traded with the Dolphins for receiver Wes Welker; someone who moved further to establish the franchise receptions milestone.
Mac Jones makes a euphoric hello for DeVante Parker
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Saturday, the Miami Dolphins are dealing wide receiver DeVante Parker and a 2022 fifth-round pick to the New England Patriots. In 2023, Miami Dolphins will earn a third-round pick. After acquiring Tyreek Hill from the Kansas City Chiefs and making him the NFL’s highest-paid receiver, Miami made the move.

WR Parker, a Miami first-round choice in 2015. He has two years remaining on his contract after signing a three-year agreement in 2019. The 29-year-old wideout will earn about $5.7 million in base salary in 2022 and 2023, although no assured compensation is promised over those two seasons.
Will the Patriots benefit from Parker?
Parker couldn’t recreate his breakout season of 72 catches, 1,202 yards, and nine touchdowns in 2019. In the last two years, the WR has accumulated 103 receptions for 1,308 yards and six touchdowns. Yet, first-round rookie Jaylen Waddle has supplanted him as Miami’s go-to option in 2021. However, one AFC East team’s coalfield could be someone else’s diamond mine.
The Patriots hope that the accumulation of Parker, as well as prospective other draft additions, will encourage the Patriots to keep up with the pace. The changes can benefit the overall rankings and the line of work with the swift team of Miami Dolphins and defending AFC East Champions Buffalo Bills.
