“Pass catchers are always at a premium, and there are a few names out there along those lines. Dolphins WR DeVante Parker, Giants WR Darius Slayton and TE Evan Engram, and Cardinals WR Andy Isabella have been discussed. The Saints and Lions are among the teams I’ve heard are looking for help at receiver.”
Parker was a first-round pick by the Dolphins in the 2015 NFL draft.
Parker is only a few years removed when he had 72 receptions and 1202 yards receiving in 2019.
His 2020 season included 63 receptions for 798 and 4 TD’s.
But, his production has been down in 2021 as he only has 17 catches for 242 yards.
He has struggled with injuries and has played in only 4 games this season.
Among the teams that could be interested in Parker include the Lions and Saints.

The Dolphins have certainly been one of the most disappointing teams so far in the 2021 season at 1-6.
Many viewed them as a playoff team, but they have struggled on all phases in 2021.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has played in only 4 games this year and also has had to deal with the rumors of a Deshaun Watson trade.
The Dolphins are dealing with regression this season after seemingly overachieving in the 2020 season.
