Overview
- NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports multiple teams have inquired on Jaylen Waddle and have been told the Dolphins have no interest in trading him.
- Head coach Mike McDaniel called the circulating trade talk about Dolphins players "baseless, currently," underscoring the team's public posture.
- Rival clubs are instead focusing on Miami's pass rushers, with Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips drawing significant interest and Matt Judon also mentioned as potential trade fodder.
- Contract dynamics are central: Waddle is signed through 2028, Chubb's deal is movable beyond this year, and Phillips is on his option year, making the edge group more practical trade targets.
- With Miami slipping to 1-6, teams like the 49ers and Eagles are viewed as logical pass-rush buyers, while the Giants' receiver search is tempered by reports they are not aggressively working the phones and alternatives like Jakobi Meyers and Chris Olave carry mixed availability signals.
