- After parting with GM Chris Grier, Miami’s interim leadership under Champ Kelly has shifted from a hard no to taking calls on Waddle, per NFL Network.
- ESPN reports the team would require a first-round pick plus additional assets and characterizes a Waddle trade before Tuesday as highly unlikely.
- Rival teams linked to interest include the Giants, Steelers, Bills and Patriots, reflecting the scarcity of top receivers ahead of the Nov. 4 deadline.
- Multiple reports indicate Miami is more likely to deal from its edge group, with Jaelan Phillips, Bradley Chubb and Matthew Judon drawing active inquiries.
- Waddle, 26, is signed through 2028 on a three-year extension and has 41 receptions for 586 yards and four touchdowns through nine games this season.
