The Denver Broncos and the Miami Dolphins made a trade on Tuesday morning that holds relevance for the Philadelphia Eagles.
The deal:
BRONCOS RECEIVE — WR Jaylen Waddle, 2026 Dolphins fourth-round pick
DOLPHINS RECEIVE — 2026 Broncos first-round pick (No. 30 overall), 2026 Broncos third-round pick, 2026 Broncos fourth-round pick
The relevance to the Eagles:
- There was some buzz about the Broncos being interested in A.J. Brown. They clearly won’t be trading for him now. One fewer suitor for Brown doesn’t necessarily help the Eagles’ leverage. However …
- The Eagles’ reported asking price for Brown in a trade is further legitimatized with the Waddle trade. Though Waddle is about 1.5 years younger, Brown is a superior player. Here’s a look at their stats since 2021, which is when Waddle entered the NFL.
It remains to be seen if a team (likely the New England Patriots) actually steps up and meets the Eagles’ asking price. But Howie Roseman is only looking more justified to hold firm and demand that a certain threshold must be met in order for him to trade Brown.
