Jaylen Waddle gets paid

MIAMI -- The Dolphins agreed to a contract extension Thursday with Jaylen Waddle that makes him one of the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL.

The three-year, $84.75 million extension includes $76 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The $28.25 million average annual value of the extension is the fourth highest in the NFL among wide receivers, while the guaranteed money is the third behind A.J. Brown ($84 million) and Amon-Ra St. Brown ($77 million).

Despite playing alongside Tyreek Hill for the past two seasons, Waddle's 3,385 receiving yards rank 13th in the NFL since 2021, and he has recorded the 16th-most receiving yards of any player in their first three seasons.

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.
