What Dolphins are telling Jaylen Waddle trade suitors

As the Miami Dolphins have been surrounded by trade rumors with their massively disappointing 1-5 start to the season, one of the names that has been circulating is wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. While the rumors around the Dolphins will continue, the latest reporting suggests what the trade status of Waddle is ahead of the team’s game against the Cleveland Browns.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network would touch on Miami and Waddle in his column on Saturday, giving insight into how the team is feeling about dealing with Waddle potentially. He would report that the Dolphins have “no interest” in trading Waddle, saying it would signal a possible rebuild, though it’s “more likely” the team would trade an edge rusher.

“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,” Rapoport wrote. “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).”

Even Miami head coach Mike McDaniel would give his thoughts on the speculation going around the team and expressed how they are all “baseless,” according to Cameron Wolfe.

“All (trade) rumors about Miami Dolphins players are baseless, currently,” McDaniel said. “And that’s unfortunate. Personally, this time of year bothers me for the sake of individual players, having where he’s playing questioned by rumors.”
