The Miami Dolphins are shaking things up in a big way this offseason, and their latest move could have ripple effects reaching all the way to Wisconsin. On Tuesday, the Dolphins made headlines by trading star wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and a fourth-round pick to the Denver Broncos.
In return, Miami snagged Denver’s first, third, and fourth-round picks in the upcoming draft. According to the Rich Hill trade chart, this deal values Waddle around the No. 25 overall pick-a hefty price for one of the league's top young talents.
But this isn't an isolated move. The Dolphins have been busy revamping their offense.
They've already parted ways with Tyreek Hill, their leading receiver for the past four years, and opted not to re-sign tight end Darren Waller. This leaves Miami with a fresh look on offense, featuring Tutu Atwell, Malik Washington, and Greg Dulcich as key players.
The quarterback situation in Miami is also seeing a major overhaul. They inked a deal with former Packers quarterback Malik Willis, handing him a three-year, $67.5 million contract with $45 million guaranteed. This move spelled the end for longtime starter Tua Tagovailoa, who was released with a June 1 designation, resulting in a significant cap hit of nearly $100 million in dead money over the next two seasons.
While these moves might seem focused solely on Miami’s roster, the trade of Waddle hints that the Dolphins might not be done yet. There could be more moves in the pipeline, potentially involving the Green Bay Packers. Packers fans should keep an eye on Miami’s next steps, as they might just impact Green Bay’s future plans.
