We already know that the New York Jets are buyers, but who else in the AFC East might be rolling around a shopping cart?

The quick reaction from a Miami Dolphins standpoint is that their hopes of winning the AFC East — assuming they fix their issues in the first place — took a bit of a hit with Davante Adams joining the Jets and Amari Cooper heading for Buffalo.

With the trade deadline still three weeks away, the Jets and Bills made early moves to add playmakers on offense.

The Dolphins outlasted the Patriots in Week 5 by a score of 15-10 at Gillette Stadium. The Dolphins (2-3) have already played four different quarterbacks this year: Tua Tagovailoa, Skylar Thompson, Tim Boyle, and Tyler Huntley.

Two wide receiver trades changed the AFC East landscape Tuesday — to the Miami Dolphins’ detriment. First, the New York Jets (2-4, 10th seed in the AFC) acquired Davante Adams for a third-round pick that could become a second.

For now, though, the Dolphins are back in second place in the AFC East — exactly where they’ve finished in five of the last eight seasons. Read all the best Dolphins coverage at The Palm Beach Post and Dolphins Wire.
