Jaylen Waddle joins the Denver Broncos from the Miami Dolphins, giving a major boost to a WR corps that includes Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, and Pat Bryant. The group is rounded out by Michael Bandy, Marvin Mims Jr, and Lil’ Jordan Humphrey.
Meanwhile, Miami’s depth chart has been somewhat thinned out. Tutu Atwell, Malik Washington, and Jalen Tolbert lead the group, while further down are Terrace Marshall Jr, Theo Wease Jr, Tahj Washington, and AJ Henning.
Starting in 2026, Bo Nix will have a new, explosive weapon through the air. This significant move, which provides the Dolphins with new draft picks, was reported by Adam Schefter on X.

Overall, Denver’s passing game averaged 223.9 yards per game, ranking 11th in the league and proving to be a reliable component of their 14–3 record.
