Dolphins Stand Pat at Trade Deadline With Waddle Staying and Phillips the Lone Move

Rival inquiries fell short of Miami’s first-round-plus valuation for Jaylen Waddle.

Overview

  • Miami made no deals before the 4 p.m. ET deadline after trading Jaelan Phillips to the Eagles for a 2026 third-round pick.
  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the team fielded calls on Jaylen Waddle and Bradley Chubb but chose to keep both players.
  • Reporters Connor Hughes and Jordan Schultz said Miami sought at least a first-round pick plus for Waddle, which cooled interest.
  • The Broncos and Bills were among teams that checked on Waddle before backing away due to the price, per multiple reports.
  • Miami sits at 2-7 with Champ Kelly serving as interim GM after Chris Grier’s firing, and Waddle remains on a multi-year extension.
