Summary
On this episode of 3 & Out, we break down a major move as Jaylen Waddle is traded to the Denver Broncos. What does this mean for Denver’s offense, and how does Waddle change the outlook in the AFC West?
We also examine the Miami Dolphins’ side of the deal — why they made the move, what they gain, and how this impacts their offense moving forward.
Plus, we discuss the current market for elite wide receivers, including what it could cost to acquire a player like A.J. Brown, and how teams are valuing top-tier talent at the position.
We also react to the latest surrounding Maxx Crosby, including key takeaways and reactions from his recent podcast appearance.
Next, a look at Matt Leinart — his perspective, relevance to today’s game, and how his experience ties into current NFL conversations.
