 On August 31, 2019, the Dolphins traded Laremy Tunsil and Kenny Stills to the Houston Texans in exchange for two first round picks and a second round pick.Over the next few weeks, the Dolphins continued to trade other starters such as Kiko Alonso, Minkah Fitzpatrick, and Kenyan Drake for draft picks and were criticized for allegedly "tanking" for a better draft position early in the season.Ryan Fitzpatrick and Rosen alternated games at quarterback to little success, but the job was ultimately clinched by Fitzpatrick after a string of strong performances starting in week 5.
