Bills trade target lands with AFC opponent
Bills trade target acquired by Broncos from Dolphins in offseason swap
The Denver Broncos traded for Jaylen Waddle on Tuesday, sending the former Miami Dolphins receiver out of the division and to another AFC opponent. The Broncos sent a first, third, and fourth-round pick in the swap for Waddle and a Miami Dolphins fourth-round pick in this year’s draft. The first rounder will likely be the 25th or 26th selection overall.
The Bills' front office had reportedly made an offer to Waddle at last season’s trade deadline that included a first-round pick. Miami did not want to trade the 27-year-old within the division. Buffalo has since pivoted, striking a deal with the Chicago Bears for pass catcher DJ Moore and a fifth-round selection in exchange for their second-round pick, which would have been the 63rd or 64th overall pick in the draft.
