Tutu Atwell trade grades: Rams reunite with speedy WR, Dolphins take chance on Jarquez Hunter, per report
CBS Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Rams traded running back Jarquez Hunter to the Dolphins in exchange for wide receiver Tutu Atwell, reuniting with Atwell who had signed with Miami earlier this offseason but did not play a regular-season game there.
- Atwell, 26, is expected to be a depth option behind top receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, adding speed to the Rams' offense but likely serving as a third or lower wide receiver option.
- The Rams’ grade for the trade is a B-, noting that Atwell's production has been limited recently and that the team gave up a young player they had drafted just 16 months ago.
- The Dolphins receive a B+ for acquiring 23-year-old Hunter, a former fourth-round pick with strong college production, who fits Miami’s youth-focused rebuild under coach Jeff Hafley and offers potential behind their crowded running back depth chart.
- Miami’s wide receiver group is young and competitive, making Atwell expendable, while Hunter provides a promising, physical running back option for the Dolphins’ developing roster.
