Coach Adam Gase expects Parker to remain with the Dolphins beyond the NFL trade deadline Tuesday, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.
The Dolphins reportedly tried to trade Parker a few weeks ago, but they were forced to reconsider after fellow wideouts Albert Wilson (hip) and Kenny Stills (groin) suffered injuries. The 2015 first-round pick responded with six catches for a career-high 134 yards (on nine targets) in Thursday's 42-23 loss to the Texans, perhaps increasing trade interest while also making him a bit more valuable to the Dolphins. With Wilson on injured reserve and Stills no lock to return for Sunday's game against the Jets, it now seems likely the 4-4 Dolphins will hold on to Parker as they attempt to stick around in the playoff race.
