According to NFL Insider Rand Getlin, the New Orleans Saints could soon acquire a pass rusher. Per Getlin, the Miami Dolphins could be dealing defensive end Chris McCain to the the team, but the compensation is unknown.
I'm told the #Dolphins are in the process of trading DE Chris McCain to the #Saints.

McCain, who went undrafted in 2014 out of California, has 18 games played in the NFL. According to reports, McCain was moved from being a pass rusher to linebacker, which didn’t suit him. When he was moved back in June, McCain told the Miami Herald, “Real happy; this fills my skill sets better,” he said. “No thinking. Just running, doing what I like to do.”
This wouldn’t come as a total shock, as the two clubs are familiar trade partners, and assistant head coach Dan Campbell is also familiar with the third-year player.
According to McCain's personal Twitter and multiple reports, it's happening.
Thank you Dolphins for a wonderful 2 1/2 yrs. love Florida but GOD always has a plan. And I'm very thankful for this opportunity #whodat
