Now that the Miami Dolphins have Tyreek Hill, teams have checked to see if they’ll part with another wide receiver.
According to NFL insider Dov Kleiman, the Dolphins have received inquiries on DeVante Parker.

However, per Adam Beasley of Pro Football Network, Dolphins general manager Chris Grier isn’t actively pursuing a deal.

It still doesn’t hurt to ask.
Miami has now has a dynamic duo in Hill and Jaylen Waddle, who tallied 104 receptions for 1,015 yards in his rookie campaign. Since tight end Mike Gesicki also typically lines up as a receiver, the team might view Parker as expandable.
Parker’s production has dipped ever since posting 1,202 receiving yards and nine touchdowns in a breakout 2019. Limited to 10 games last year, he settled 515 yards and two scores.
Waddle and Gesicki accounted for 42 percent of Miami’s targets last season, so Parker’s role may evaporate even more with Hill in town.
Meanwhile, the Parker would make an interesting acquisition. While the 29-year-old has dealt with injuries throughout his career, missing time in every season besides 2019, the former first-round pick has shown immense upside when healthy and receiving reliable quarterback play.
Having seen Parker flourish alongside Ryan Fitzpatrick in 2019, teams reportedly remain interested in his potential as a down-field threat. Yet the Dolphins could keep the 6-foot-3, 219-pound wideout around as a big-bodied complement to their smaller star speedsters.
