Jaylen Waddle Has Made the Broncos’ Receiving Corps Elite

Prior to last Tuesday, the Denver Broncos had recently come under a lot of fire for not making moves in free agency. At the time, they had yet to bring in a single new player from another team. Meanwhile, their fans were watching division rivals make scary signings, such as the Chiefs with Kenneth Walker and the Raiders with Tyler Linderbaum .

All the while, the Broncos sat on their hands and did nothing. Until that monumental Tuesday. Waddle Welcomed On March 17th, the Denver Broncos traded their 2026 first, third, and fourth round picks to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for electric wideout Jaylen Waddle .

After weeks of clamoring for a splash, the Broncos delivered with a cannonball. The former First Team All-Rookie receiver gives Denver the firepower and big-play ability that they have desperately needed. In his first three years in the league, Waddle produced back-to-back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons.

In 2021, he caught over 100 passes as just a rookie, and he followed that up with a whopping 1,300 yards the following year. Admittedly, his stats have taken a bit of a bump in the last two seasons. However, much of that can be attributed to Tua’s injuries and general struggles pertaining to the Dolphins’ offense.
