What happened: Miami will also receive a 2029 seventh-round pick, with the deal pending Wallace's physical. New England had planned to release Wallace before Miami called.

Why it matters: The move lets Miami secure Wallace before he reaches waivers. New England converts a planned cut into a future pick swap.

By the numbers: Drake Maye and Marcellas Dial Jr. are the only players from that New England draft class still on the roster.

What to watch: Wallace's role in Miami's preseason offensive-line rotation comes next.
