Broncos Trade for Waddle, Skip Free Agency

On March 23rd, the Denver Broncos took their time in NFL free agency, becoming the last

team to add a player from another squad.

They stayed quiet at first, but shook things up with a big trade for wide receiver Jalen

Waddle during the second week.

Coach Sean Payton was in Los Angeles over the weekend, focusing on an exhibition-flag

football tournament instead of deals.

He later joked that his team was too wrapped up in prep for that event to chase signings

right away.

Fans and observers noted the Broncos patient approach, which let them avoid early spending

sprees while targeting key pieces like Waddle to boost.

Their offense.

Payton led a squad featuring quarterback Tom Brady, but they dropped both games that day.

Team USA put on a strong show, dominating the field.

This warm-up highlights the push for flag football at the 2028 Olympics in LA, where NFL

stars will need sharper skills to make the cut.
