Jaylen Waddle Stays With Dolphins as Buyers Refuse Miami’s First-Round Price
Post-deadline reports attribute stalled talks to uncertainty following Chris Grier’s firing.
Overview
- ESPN reporting says the Broncos, Steelers and Giants inquired but balked at a valuation near a first-round pick or a first-plus.
- Miami held firm on that price while navigating a front-office transition after Grier’s exit, complicating negotiations for suitors.
- Broncos coach Sean Payton said the team explored receiver options but would not chase inflated prices and will proceed with five active wideouts.
- Denver, per the Denver Post via Broncos Wire, did not pursue Jets receiver Garrett Wilson or make an offer to New York.
- Waddle remains in Miami after the deadline, with reporting indicating teams may revisit trade talks in the offseason when picks and cap space reset.
