New England Patriots fans are hoping their team will be a buyer before Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline.
While Edge Rusher and Secondary are two obvious positions, don’t sleep on the Patriots adding depth to the game. Stepping up is Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle.
At just 26 years old, Waddle is a proven asset, a dynamic talent on the outside and would improve the Patriots’ wide receiver room as a premier receiving weapon. Additionally, Waddle is under contract through 2028. That fits perfectly with the Patriots’ abundant cap space and expires before Drake Maye receives his big salary.
Even if the Dolphins come off a shocking 34-8 upset of the Falcons, expect them to be sellers. Players in anchor positions like Waddle at wide receiver and Bradley Chubb at edge rusher should generate the biggest returns.
It is if the Dolphins are sellers. Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN reported that there is optimism inside the Dolphins building and that the team is not looking to get rid of any players.

Additionally, it would take top assets heading to Miami for the Dolphins to be willing to trade their top wide receiver in the division.
