Dolphins-Broncos Trade: Waddle to Denver

0:00On March 22nd, the Miami Dolphins in Denver Broncos pulled off a major trade last week, sending wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and a fourth-round pick in the 2026 draft to Denver. In return, Miami picked up three picks that same year, a first-rounder at 30th overall, a third-rounder at 94th, and a fourth-rounder at 130th. Waddle joined the Dolphins as their first-round pick, sixth overall, back in 2021. For five seasons, he racked up 373 catches for 5,039 yards and 26 touchdowns. He shone bright early on with a rookie record of 104 receptions and later topped the league in yards per catch at 18.1 hz. Second year, but stayed the number two option after Tyree Kill arrived. Fans from both teams largely backed the move. Dolphins supporters gave it high marks and polls, with 82% rating it, and A or B, seeing it as a smart step in their rebuild after a rough, 2025 season.

For Denver, locked in a tight AFC West race, Waddle bolsters a squad that topped the AFC regular season last year before falling to New England in the Primer conference title game. Odds shifted slightly, with Miami now at plus 3,000 for the AFC East, and Denver holding steady around plus 200 in their division. Both sides could win big here, as those picks might spark Miami's turnaround, while Waddle helps Denver chase a Super Bowl run.
