The other trade has the Jaguars acquiring left tackle Branden Albert in exchange for a 2018 seventh-round pick.
Jacksonville will work with Albert's contract and reportedly give him more money.
In Miami, Thomas reunites with Dolphins head coach Adam Gase.

Albert is expected to replace Kelvin Beachum on the Jags' offensive line.
