Reports: Bills Were Top Bidder for Jaylen Waddle but Leave Trade Deadline Without a Deal

Division rival reluctance left Buffalo empty-handed at the deadline.

Overview

  • NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Buffalo offered Miami a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 first-round pick for Jaylen Waddle, which was the best offer the Dolphins received.
  • Cameron Wolfe reported Miami sought a first-round pick plus another significant asset and ultimately kept Waddle.
  • Pelissero also reported the Bills tried to acquire Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams before the deadline.
  • The Jets traded Williams to the Cowboys for a 2027 first-round pick, a 2026 second-round pick and defensive tackle Mazi Smith.
  • General manager Brandon Beane said he was frustrated by the lack of in-division traction and confirmed Buffalo made no trades.
