The Denver Broncos and the Miami Dolphins made a trade on Tuesday morning that holds relevance for the Philadelphia Eagles.
**BRONCOS RECEIVE —** WR Jaylen Waddle, 2026 Dolphins fourth-round pick
**DOLPHINS RECEIVE** — 2026 Broncos first-round pick (No. 30 overall), 2026 Broncos third-round pick, 2026 Broncos fourth-round pick
The relevance to the Eagles:
1. [There was some buzz about the Broncos being interested in A.J. Brown](/news/172213/a-j-brown-trade-rumors-rams-and-broncos-interested-in-eagles-wide-receiver). They clearly won’t be trading for him now. One fewer suitor for Brown doesn’t necessarily help the Eagles’ leverage. However …
2. The Eagles’ reported asking price for Brown in a trade is further legitimatized with the Waddle trade. Though Waddle is about 1.5 years younger, Brown is a superior player. Here’s a look at their stats since 2021, which is when Waddle entered the NFL.
It remains to be seen if a team (likely the New England Patriots) actually steps up and meets the Eagles’ asking price. But Howie Roseman is only looking more justified to hold firm and demand that a certain threshold must be met in order for him to trade Brown.
