Broncos Trade for Waddle, Shake Up NFL

0:00It's March 23rd. This is NFL News today, powered by AI, your gridiron update. I'm Corey with the story. The Denver Broncos just pulled off a major trade, sending a first round and third round draft pick to the Miami Dolphins for wide receiver Jalen. Waddle. This comes after their heartbreaking loss in the 2025 AFC Championship game to the New England Patriots, where an injury to quarterback, Bo Nick's left them shorthanded in the snow. Waddle, a 27-year-old star, steps in as the Broncos top-wide out and inherits his three-year contract extension worth 84.75 million dollars from Miami. That deal gives him a higher average annual salary than current Broncos receiver, Cortland Sedan, who signed a four-year pact for 92 million. Dollars last summer, meaning Sedan earns about $5 million less this year. Fans and analysts see it as a bold move to Supercharge Nick's passing game, though some call it an overpay for a receiver his age. For Sedan, it shifts the spotlight, but his overall deal remains solid. The Dolphins, meanwhile, grab valuable draft picks to fuel their rebuild, while Denver builds a stronger roster aimed at a championship run.
