DOLPHINS DEAL FOR DT AKEEM SPENCE
The Miami Dolphins acquired defensive tackle Akeem Spence from the Detroit Lions for a conditional seventh-round draft pick in 2019.
What does it give the Miami Dolphins
The Dolphins were desperate to add depth to the interior of their D-line, especially after losing Ndamukong Suh to free agency. Spence will help, a little, but he first needs to make the team in training camp.
What does it give the Detroit Lions
The Lions felt they no longer needed Spence as part of their defensive tackle rotation, so they decided to accept a very minimal return from Miami in return. Detroit will likely receive the seventh rounder if Spence makes Miami.
Fantasy impact
This trade has very little fantasy impact, as Spence will be a rotational player if he even makes the Dolphins out of training camp.
