NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe reports the Dolphins view WR Jaylen Waddle as part of their “new future.”

06 November 2025

The Dolphins received calls on the 26-year-old wideout, including from the Denver Broncos. However, Wolfe reports the Dolphins wanted a “Quinnen Williams or Sauce Gardner type return” for Waddle. This would have consisted of at least one first-rounder and another first- or second-round pick, but there was not a market for this kind of return for him. The Dolphins view Waddle as a part of the their future, whether that includes the current Tua/Mike McDaniel quarterback-coach combination or not. Trade rumors will certainly resurface in the offseason, though Miami is clearly reluctant to part ways with the speedy former No. 6 overall pick.
