Broncos Trade for Waddle, Strengthening Super Bowl Push

For the NFL, it's March 17th, here's what's happening.

The Denver Broncos just pulled off a huge trade, landing star-wide receiver Jalen Waddle

from the Miami Dolphins.

They gave up their first round pick at number 30 overall, plus third and fourth round picks,

and got a fourth round or back in return.

This move feels a big gap in their passing game after a strong offseason push.

Coming off of 14 and 3 season, the Broncos snagged their first division title in 10 years,

the top seed in the AFC, and a spot in the conference championship.

Bowenix's ankle injury late in the playoffs stopped them short, but now, with Waddle, their

offense gets a major boost to chase deeper runs.

Fans and analysts see this as a bold sign that Denver's Super Bowl shot is wide open

right now.

Nix is on his rookie deal, eating up just 1.5% of the salary cap last year, and under 2%

through 2027.

A cheap quarterback play lets them afford splashes, like Waddle's 3-year, $84,750,000

extension.

Meanwhile, the Broncos have locked in key players like past Russia Nick Benito through

2029 and quarterback Patrick Sertain, the second on.

Big deals too.

A few free agents loom in 2027 and beyond, but the course stays intact for contention.

In the tough AFC West, Kansas City deals with Patrick Mahomes, recovering from a torn

ACL after a down year, the charges rebuild their line around, Justin Herbert, and the

raiders focus on their young quarterback.

These next two seasons look like Denver's clearest path to repeat as champs and hunt

a Super Bowl.
