On March 18th, the Denver Broncos made ways on March 17th by trading a 2026 first-round pick along with 3rd and 4th-round picks to the Miami Dolphins for Wide Receiver, Jalen Waddle. This bold move aims to boost their Super Bowl chances with a stacked receiving group. Now with Waddle joining Cortland Sudden and Pat Bryan, the Broncos have too many talented Whiteouts, putting 4th-round pick Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims on the trade radar. Analysts like ESPN's Benjamin Solack point out Denver surplus could lead to deals. Chicago Bears fans might want to pay attention here, as their Wide Receiver Room thinned out this off-season after losing DJ, more to the Buffalo Bills and Ole Mides Achaus to the Atlanta Falcons. They're counting on Luther Bird in the 3rd, Roe Maudunze, and new signing E. Calif Raymond, but depth remains a concern amid injury risks. Franklin, a former Oregon standout at 6 feet 3 inches with a 4.4 140 yard dash exploded

in the second year, jumping from. 53 targets and 263 yards as a rookie to 104 targets, 709 yards, and 6 touchdowns in two. 1025. He's cheap too, signed through 2027 at under $1.4 million per season. A day 3 draft pick could likely land him for the Bears, giving Chicago a young, cost-effective playmaker to raise their receiver floor and prepare. For the unexpected, this Broncos trade just opened the perfect window.
