The latest involves wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, who was traded from the Dolphins to the Broncos on Tuesday.
Waddle has been a productive pass catcher since entering the league as the sixth overall selection in the 2021 draft, but with Miami undergoing a major rebuild found himself on his way out. In turn, he was sent to Denver for first- and third-rounders as well a fourth-round pick exchange. That trade compensation is something the rest of the league will also be interested in, including the New England Patriots.
The Super Bowl runner-ups, after all, are also in the market for wide receiver help. A trade like Tuesday’s further continues to shape said market. Waddle, after all, is the latest wideout to be moved this offseason.
