This offseason, two trades have already made waves around the NFL, even though deals technically can’t be transacted until March 14. Even the Arizona Cardinals have been involved in chatter among fans, writers and talking heads as they could potentially make a trade to acquire quarterback Nick Foles from the Philadelphia Eagles.

One possible trade proposed by Touchdown Wire’s Katy Bryan-Beachler involves the Cardinals and the Miami Dolphins. Trading guard Mike Iupati to Miami is one of 19 potential trades that could change the league.

Right now, Miami only has Mike Pouncey and Laremy Tunsil as offensive linemen who are assured of starting this coming season. Many other positions (such as guard spots and right tackle) could use quite a bit of help, though. That’s where Iupati comes in. The four-time Pro Bowl blocker is known for his fierceness and sheer tenacity on the field, a player who uses his physicality to his advantage. The Cardinals aren’t too keen on keeping him due to some injuries he suffered during this past season, barring him from playing in 15 games. With a left side consisting of Pouncey, Tunsil, and Iupati, you can be sure that that trio will become one of the best in the entire NFL.

This is a no-brainer for the Cardinals. They are expected to release him and save the money against the salary cap. If they are willing to take the dead money hit of $3.4 million and not get anything but cap space, they certainly would be willing to receive a Day 3 pick for him.

The question is whether the trade makes sense for Miami. They would then take the final two years of his contract that pay him $15.5 million.

When healthy, Iupati is still dominant in the running game and decent in pass protection. Arizona would get cap space and a draft pick, while Miami puts together a dominant left side of the offensive line.

Steve Keim should get on the phone.
