Jets | Kalen Ballage acquired by NYJ
RB Kalen Ballage on Thursday, Aug. 27, was acquired by the New York Jets in a trade with the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a conditional late-round draft pick, according to a source.
Footballguys View: Ballage is reunited with former Dolphins head coach Adam Gase. He’s a big-bodied back but doesn’t run with authority like most big backs do. Instead, Ballage uses his elusiveness to create space for himself. He can be used as a receiver out of the backfield as well. Ballage is facing an uphill battle to make the 53-man roster behind Le’Veon Bell, Frank Gore and La’Mical Perine.
Dolphins | Miami gets pick in Kalen Ballage trade
RB Kalen Ballage on Thursday, Aug. 27, was traded from the Miami Dolphins to the New York Jets for a conditional late-round draft pick, according to a source.
Footballguys View: The Dolphins were going to move on from Ballage anyway. Now, they get a late-round pick for him. The Dolphins have Jordan Howard as their lead back with Matt Breida working as a receiving back/electric back alongside him. Myles Gaskin, Malcolm Perry and Patrick Laird are competing to establish a pecking order behind those two.
