Broncos get star wide receiver Jaylen Waddle from Dolphins in a blockbuster
trade, AP source says

The Denver Broncos have acquired standout wide receiver Jaylen Waddle in a
blockbuster deal that sends three draft picks to the Miami Dolphins, including
a first-rounder, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press
on Tuesday.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal hasn't
been announced. The Dolphins will receive the 30th overall pick in next month's
NFL draft along with picks in the third and fourth rounds. Denver will get
Miami's fourth-rounder along with Waddle.
Waddle gives Bo Nix another main target along with Courtland Sutton, boosting a
passing offense that finished 11th in the NFL last season.
The Broncos were the AFC's No. 1 seed last season but lost to New England in
the AFC championship game without Nix, who broke his ankle in a game against
Buffalo in the divisional round.
Waddle, a first-round pick in 2021, had three straight 1,000-yard receiving
seasons to begin his career but hasn't reached that total since 2023.
The 27-year-old Waddle has averaged 81 receptions, 1,098 yards receiving and
six touchdowns over his five-year career.
