Jaylen Waddle gets paid

Keep. Drafting. Wide. Receivers.

Great WR’s, non-clutch QB… only gets you so far.

That’s a lot of guaranteed for an undersized dude that’s hurt a lot.

Incredible time to be a WR in the NFL.

I suppose he’s good but I forget this dude exists sometimes. Like, I’m not sure he’d make my top 15 and he just cashed out.

We're in an era where a high end 2/low end 1 makes 28 million a year.

This is a move a team makes when one of two things is true:

1. They have a QB on a rookie contract
2. They have an average QB they are stuck with and need to surround him with as many weapons to offset that as possible.

Tyreek is probably playing his last year in Miami. They’re $11 million in the red in 2025 and there’s no way they’ll pay $34 million to Tyreek when they just paid Waddle and are about to pay Tua.

Feels like they’re overpaying by a lot. And they still need to pay Tua, who has already rejected their first offer and appears to need over $50 million/yr.

Hill has claimed he'll retire soon.


I mean he's also said he's going into porn.

Summary: Hill says a lot of shit

If Tua wants 50 mil, I tell him to go find some other sucker to pay him that. McDaniels is a Shanny disciple you can get pretty much any QB to look good in that system just don't expect them to put the game on their back to go and win it.

That's a lot of money tied up in 2 WR's(Ty & JW) - $54MM in 2025, and Tua is a UFA in '25 as well. If they decided to cut bait with Ty in '25, they'll have $22MM in Dead Cap. Good luck to them...

Porn is not going to pay the bills for all of his child support.

Not a fan of McDaniels but that’s irrelevant to this conversation.


Personally, I wouldn’t pay Tua more than $35 million/yr; what with his poor injury history and inconsistent performances when Tyreek was hurt, I don’t see how he merits anything more.

I mean, is Tua really that much better than Trevor Lawrence? Who doesn’t have any injury concerns, has a much better arm, more mobility?

2nd best WR on his team.

LOL @ teams thinking they can load up at WR and dethrone the Chiefs.

Looking at the history of super bowls and trying to figure out if any team in the matchup paid huge money for a WR2 and I'm not seeing it.

Makes sense when you realize there are only about 4/5 teams that can actually win a Sb in the NFL

Did he play in our playoff game? I'm not trying to be snarky, I literally don't remember.

FYP

I think they are paying him like a WR1 now because when Hill leaves and he IS the WR1 there he'll be a bargain

You didn’t lose in the playoffs because of your WRs, Dolphins.

Idiots.

Yes - but he wasn't much of a factor (2 Rec for 31 yards, 5 targets)

Basically he’s getting paid like he’s Mike Evans. Don’t know how anyone else feels, but I don’t think he’s worth ME $$$. Never.

Yep.

Hill makes 25 and Waddle makes 21. That's nearly top 5 QB money for two WR's and the QB is fairly mid.

Ouch.

I don’t think TL is worth $50 million/yr either. That was my point.

Hill has $31.3M hit this year, $34.2M next year and a huge $56.3M in 2026! Ouch

And he wants a raise

And the QB will be making $50M per year pretty soon as well.

Yes, remember Sneed shoving him to the ground? All game long?

I thought that was Reek.

might actually exacerbate the problem

He's either getting a new deal or being released, there's no way they pay those cap hits.

Oh, my mistake, that's who I thought you were asking about.

That's a lot of cap tied up in wide receivers


After seeing us win the super bowl last year, I'm not sure that's the smartest of ideas...

Lulz

Maybe they're thinking that they can replicate the Raiders back when they had 2 hall of fame wide receivers that made people think that a mediocre quarterback was an MVP and made it to the Superbowl.

Better be gay porn.

Or he's gonna have 87 kids, way he's goin.

They’ll get exactly what they deserve if they pay him that.

Jimmy G. And a Brock Purdy say hello.

Dang we're gonna miss that guy
