Broncos Trade for Waddle, Raiders, Chargers Make Moves

0:00On March 20, the Kansas City Chiefs AFC West Rivals made some notable moves during the early free agency period. The Denver Broncos stood out by trading for wider receiver Jalen Waddle from the Miami Dolphins along with a 2026 fourth round pick. In exchange, they gave up their 30th overall pick in 2026, a third rounder, and a late fourth round selection this year. Instead of drafting a receiver late in the first round, Denver grabbed a proven playmaker. Jalen Waddle had a breakout year in 2025, with six touchdown catches, stepping up big when Tyree Kill got hurt. Now he teams up with Courtland Sutton to boost Rookie Quarterback Botanix's passing game next season. This marks a shift for the Broncos, who haven't taken a wide out in the first round since Jerry Judy back in 2020. Judy got traded to the Browns last year, leaving a gap at the position that Waddle helps feel right away. Over in Las Vegas, the Raiders add in linebacker, Sagan Alubi, Guard Spencer Burford, and defensive

That ranked eighth last season. With these tweaks in place, all three teams are positioning themselves for a competitive 2026, keeping the division race as tight as ever. For the Chiefs to navigate.
