Dolphins Signal Waddle Unlikely to Move Before Deadline

League reporting points to Miami prioritizing pass‑rusher deals, with any Waddle offer needing a first‑round pick plus more.

Overview

  • ESPN reports it is highly unlikely Miami trades Jaylen Waddle before Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline, despite taking calls on all players.
  • Multiple outlets say the Dolphins would require a '1-plus' return for Waddle, defined as a first-round pick plus additional assets.
  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the interim front office led by Champ Kelly will at least consider offers after GM Chris Grier's exit.
  • Receiver-needy teams such as the Giants and Steelers have shown interest, but the price and Waddle’s multi-year extension complicate a deal.
  • League sources expect Miami to move at least one pass rusher, with Jaelan Phillips, Bradley Chubb and Matthew Judon drawing strong interest.
