“This Broncos season certainly didn’t go as they expected but this is a big boost for Miami.”– commented a fan.
“Getting a 1 for a guy who wasn’t going to be there long term while having pass rush depth with Browning and Gregory is a good deal for the Broncos. Chubb makes the Dolphins stronger on defense if he can stay healthy.” said another fan.
A Miami fan went on to make a bold claim after securing the services of Chubb, “The last infinity stone has been secured. On to the Super Bowl.”
A closer look at the Bradley Chubb and Miami Dolphins trade
Chubb will be an unrestricted free agent next year, it is understood that the Dolphins will work on offering him a new long-term deal that will keep him at the team beyond next season as well.
Multiple alignments and rush moves against a variety of body types/play styles. Pretty easy to see why the Dolphins valued a player like Bradley Chubb. https://t.co/A72qmqIMTy

While Miami ranks seventh in yards per game through eight games, its defense has sputtered, ranking 23rd in yards allowed per game and 27th in defensive EPA. Chubb fits in as a boon to a pass rush that blitzes at the sixth-highest rate in the league but owns the sixth-lowest sack percentage.
