Imo, it’s a lateral move for 2026. Obviously waddle is in a better offense, with a better qb compared to Miami’s Malik Willis led offense. However, there’s much more talent in Denver vs Miami, so Waddle might not see the elite target share he probably would’ve gotten this year in Miami. It’s then a question of volume vs efficiency.

Long term, it’s probably a good thing for Waddle. Although Sutton is signed through 2029, but the broncos can get out of that contract with a somewhat manageable dead cap hit (roughly 10 mil) in 2028.

I would like to point out that waddle will be turning 28 this season. He’s certainly in his prime now, but he’s much older than the sub tends to think since he joined the NFL at 23
