"The Miami Dolphins continued their roster teardown on Tuesday - reportedly trading Waddle and a fourth-round pick to the Denver Broncos in exchange for a first-round pick (30th overall) and both a third and fourth-round selection in the 2026 NFL Draft. It's a rough development for a Patriots team looking to establish itself as one of the top contending teams in the AFC."
"Waddle may not have the same resume as other star wideouts like Tyreek Hill, Stefon Diggs, Justin Jefferson, and others. But he's a 27-year-old receiver with three 1,000-yard seasons over his first five years in the NFL ranks."
"Because if New England is remaining vigilant in its pursuit of Eagles wideout A.J. Brown, Philadelphia GM Howie Roseman now doesn't have to look very far to find a comparable asking price for his best receiver in any sort of trade."
The Miami Dolphins traded Jaylen Waddle and a fourth-round pick to the Denver Broncos for a first-round pick (30th overall) and third and fourth-round selections in 2026. This move strengthens Denver, the AFC's top seed with a 14-3 record, by pairing quarterback Bo Nix with another elite receiver alongside Courtland Sutton. Waddle, a 27-year-old with three 1,000-yard seasons in five NFL years, represents a significant addition. The trade price sets a concerning precedent for the Patriots, who are pursuing Eagles receiver A.J. Brown. Philadelphia GM Howie Roseman now has a clear market comparison for Brown's value, potentially increasing the asking price for New England's acquisition efforts.
