Broncos Trade for Waddle, Silencing Critics

0:00It's April 9th. You're listening to NFL News Today, AI-powered football coverage. I'm Cory with the story. The Denver Broncos played it cool during the first week of NFL free agency, letting other teams chase big outside names while they lock down there, own guys with resigning. Then in week two, they dropped a bomb, trading with the Miami Dolphins to land wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and finally shake things up. Fans in Broncos land were straight up restless before that move, watching rivals scoop up talent as Denver stayed on the sidelines, sparking all kinds. Of chatter from pundits, coach Sean Payton got real about it at the NFL's annual meeting in Arizona last month, saying they just block out that fan frustration and stick to their plan. With Waddle now in the mix, Denver's building quiet momentum, eyes on the draft and beyond, to turn those whispers into roars.
