Broncos get star wide receiver Jaylen Waddle from Dolphins in a blockbuster trade: Report
- On March 17, 2026 the Denver Broncos acquired wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and Miami's 2026 fourth-round pick for Denver's 2026 first-, third- and fourth-round picks, NFL insiders reported.
- Under new Miami management, talks that began last year and intensified after the Combine earlier this month led to the trade, according to NFL insiders.
- In 2025 he recorded 64 receptions for 910 yards and six touchdowns, and across five NFL seasons he has 373 catches for 5,039 yards and 26 TDs.
- Waddle will slot in as Denver's No. 2 receiver opposite Courtland Sutton, altering the Broncos' receiving pecking order, while Miami gains Denver's 2026 first-round pick and holds 11 selections in the 2026 draft.
- Waddle's contract details matter, as an option bonus due March 20 could lower his 2026 cap hit to $4.9 million, with about $5 million of his $15.416 million guaranteed salary for 2026 covered, according to sources.
