After a quiet first week of free agency with no outside splashes, the Denver Broncos started off Week 2 of free agency with a huge addition. According to NFL Insider Tom Pelissero, the Denver Broncos and Miami Dolphins have agreed on a trade that will send star Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle to the Mile High City.
Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Broncos will be sending the #30 overall selection, #94 selection, and #130 selection in exchange for Waddle and the 111th selection in the 2026
NFL Draft. The Broncos’ 2026 NFL Draft pick arsenal is now at #62 in round two, #108 and #111 in round four, #170 in the fifth, as well as #246, #256, and #257 in the seventh round.
In his five years with the Dolphins, Waddle has reeled in 373 catches for 5,039 yards and 26 touchdowns. He has a 69-percent career catch percentage, much higher than anyone currently on Denver’s roster. The veteran wideout is tremendous creating yards after the catch and nearly half of all his receptions (252) have gone for first downs.
The past two years have not been as productive for the former Crimson Tide standout who was picked #6 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. Issues at quarterback have hampered his production. Hopefully, he will revert to prior form teaming up with Bo Nix and having Head Coach Sean Payton and Offensive Coordinator Davis Webb drawing up creative plays to ignite their aerial attack.
