This is massive news for the Miami Dolphins, who just brought in Malik Willis at QB and now send away his top target. Watch for them to make a move on some veteran free agents who are still on the market, such as Jauan Jennings, and to bring in some help via the draft, as no one on the roster can come close to filling in the hole Waddle will leave. As for Waddle, he now gets to play on Broncos who were a Bo Nix injury away from a potential Super Bowl bid. Courtland Sutton will see a downgrade in targets, and this hurts the breakout potential of guys like Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant.
