Overview
- Kaboly said on 93.7 The Fan that Pittsburgh was "definitely interested" in Waddle at last year's trade deadline and believes Miami pulled out late.
- Multiple reports note there are no active negotiations and Waddle is not formally on the trade block, with Pro Football Rumors saying Miami has no plans to move him.
- Speculation has resurfaced as Miami sheds veterans such as Tyreek Hill and Bradley Chubb, fueling talk of a broader roster reset.
- Pittsburgh is widely viewed as needing receiver help behind recent acquisition DK Metcalf, making Waddle a logical target on paper.
- Waddle is under contract through 2028 after a 2024 extension (~$84 million reported) and is coming off two quieter seasons, while outlets disagree on price estimates ranging from mid-round picks to a first-round package, with the combine flagged as a potential inflection point.
