NFL trade rumors: Dolphins agree to deal involving back Kenyan Drake | Sporting News

Kenyan Drake won’t be with the Dolphins for much longer.

The running back has been traded, according to the Miami Herald, which cited unidentified sources. The agreement was reached Saturday night, which would explain why Drake didn’t travel with the team to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers on Monday night.

It’s unclear where Drake is going, although both the Lions and Titans reportedly inquired about Drake in recent days.

A source with the Herald said Miami wants a fourth-round pick in return for Drake.

While Drake said he never asked for a trade, he and his representatives didn’t sign a contract extension the Dolphins offered last month. 

Drake, 25, was drafted by the Dolphins out of Alabama in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft. He currently leads the Dolphins in rushing yards (174) and carries (47), but is second in the depth chart behind Mark Walton and hasn’t scored a touchdown.

Drake will be the fourth player the Dolphins have traded since early September, following left tackle Laremy Tunsil, receiver Kenny Stills and defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick.
