The New England Patriots have shown strong interest in Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver

AJ Brown throughout the off season.

Now, a new trade involving the Miami Dolphins and Denver Broncos could shake up their plans.

The Dolphins are sending Jalen Waddle to Denver, in exchange for the Broncos 2026 first-round

pick, plus late third and fourth round.

Sixth, while Denver also picks up a fourth rounder.

This deal sets a benchmark for wide receiver trades.

Waddle, at 25 years old, has racked up over 5,000 receiving yards and 26 touchdowns in five

seasons.

Brown, who's 27, boasts more than 8,000 yards, 56 scores over 8 years, plus pro bow nods

in a Super Bowl ring.

Patriots fans are worried.

This raises the price tag on Brown.

Waddle talks with Philly, saw New England holding back their first round pick, but if Waddle

fetched one, expect the Eagles to demand the same or more.

For their star.

Meanwhile, the trade boost Denver, who made the AFC Championship last year, despite missing

their quarterback for stretches.

Adding Waddle makes the Broncos a tough arrival in the Patriots' path to a Super Bowl run.

The one silver lining for New England?

Miami looks weaker right now without their top pass catcher, even with that extra draft

pick in hand.
