US EditionDolphins’ Jaylen Waddle trade rumors get major update
Interim GM Champ Kelly and Miami Dolphins are open to trading Jaylen Waddle after firing GM Chris Grier amid a 2-7 season start, considering offers from multiple teams.
- On Friday, the Miami Dolphins shifted to listening to offers for any players ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline after firing general manager Chris Grier, with interim GM Champ Kelly more open to deals including Jaylen Waddle.
- After a 28-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, the Miami Dolphins began reassessing the roster as Grier parted ways Friday, with McDaniel shifting tone from 'baseless' trade rumors.
- Through nine games Jaylen Waddle has 41 catches, 586 yards and four touchdowns, and he is scheduled to earn about $40 million in 2026 and 2027 after his three-year, $84.75 million extension last March.
- League sources expect immediate trading activity before Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline as the Dolphins got multiple calls on three players before Chris Grier's exit Friday and will likely trade at least one pass rusher.
- Performance trends and a shrinking negotiating window force quicker decisions from Miami as Waddle's production dips amid struggles by Dolphins and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, with observers watching the next 48 hours.
