"The Dolphins are willing to listen to offers on any of their players ahead of Tuesday's NFL trade deadline, but it is -- in the words of one well-placed source -- "highly unlikely" that Miami will trade wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. The Dolphins are expected to trade away at least one of their pass rushers, according to league sources, but a trade involving Waddle would be exceedingly difficult to pull off for a variety of factors."
"Could the Dolphins decrease their demands in the next 48 hours? Anything always is possible in the NFL. But not only might Waddle be the Dolphins' best player, he also is playing on a contract that is scheduled to pay him about $40 million in 2026 and 2027 -- a strong value for the prices being paid these days for some of the league's top wideouts."
"League sources believe, however, that there is a strong chance -- likely even -- that the Dolphins will trade at least one of their pass rushers before the 4 p.m. ET deadline Tuesday. Teams looking for pass rush help have their eye on Miami's trio of Jaelan Phillips, Bradley Chubb and Matthew Judon. The Dolphins got multiple calls on all three players before general manager Chris Grier's exit Friday, and sources expect those calls to intensify before the deadline."
The Dolphins are listening to offers on any player ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, but trading Jaylen Waddle is highly unlikely. Miami would seek a '1-plus' return for Waddle — a first-round pick plus additional compensation — and teams are not expected to give that package. Waddle is under contract for about $40 million in 2026-27 and has 41 catches for 586 yards and four touchdowns this season. League sources expect the Dolphins will likely trade at least one pass rusher. Jaelan Phillips, Bradley Chubb and Matthew Judon have drawn multiple calls, which are expected to increase before the deadline.
