Multiple reports on Saturday deliver the same message on Dolphins trade winds — and it should have Miami fans sleeping well tonight

"Several teams have called the Dolphins about star wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, and sources say those teams have been told Miami has no interest in trading him. Similar to Simmons for Tennessee, dealing Waddle would signal a look to the future rather than trying to win now. While things can change, it seems far more likely Miami would be willing to deal an edge rusher (perhaps Matt Judon, Bradley Chubb, or even Jaelan Phillips)."

This comes on the heels of Mike McDaniel unequivocally revoking all of this past week's trade rumors. Miami Herald heavyweight Barry Jackson also repeatedly reported this week that the Dolphins were not seeking to move Waddle — all of which should add up collectively to safely put the speculation regarding Waddle's long-term status with the team to bed.

I, for one, will be sleeping much better at night after the last 36 hours on the Waddle front. Rapoport, for what it is worth, did leave the door open for Miami to move an edge rusher.

• Week 9: Baltimore Ravens @ Miami Dolphins

Miami's outlook in trading Bradley Chubb is complicated in part because of the incentive money looming for the rest of this season. Jaelan Phillips will almost assuredly command the most interest — it has been reported frequently that teams have called on that front. The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported the same today regarding interest in Phillips (and Chubb).

Rapoport is the first to tease potential interest in Matthew Judon. If the Dolphins do indeed have any takers on that front, they should eagerly accept a deal. Judon has been a major disappointment as a late summer addition to the roster and is a part of a pass rusher log jam that is seeing too few snaps for 2024 first-round pick Chop Robinson.

The Dolphins have some time to sort their options out. All that matters at this stage is the latest affirmation that Waddle will be a Dolphin for the indefinite future. That's a win — and those have been hard to come by for Miami fans this season.
