When the Denver Broncos made their trade with Miami Dolphins for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, it might have seemed a little confusing for Dolphins fans, who had just signed quarterback Malik Willis to a three-year deal.
Turns out Willis was as informed as anyone in the Miami front office.
"They gave — as far as Jon-Eric Sullivan, the general manager, and the head coach, Jeff Hafley — Malik Willis a heads up, a conversation before they traded Jaylen Waddle," said NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe, via Dolphins Wire. "(Willis) was in the know of this decision, and he's still all-in on the plan just like they were when they signed him in free agency. This isn't a shock adjustment to what particularly happened."
What Willis lost, the Broncos gained: a 5,000-yard receiver, who is still at the top of his game, and under an extremely reasonable contract, while also getting a game-changing pass-catcher for quarterback Bo Nix.
While it still remains to be seen who wins this trade in the end, there is palpable excitement in Broncos Country for the 2026 season.
