Denver Broncos acquire Jaylen Waddle to boost offense for 2026 season
Summary

The Denver Broncos have traded for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle to enhance their offense for the upcoming 2026 season. The team retained most players from a successful 2025 season, despite a disappointing loss in the AFC Championship due to quarterback Bo Nix's injury. Nix, who is recovering from ankle surgery, led the league in pass attempts last season, but saw varied performance. Waddle's addition aims to unlock further potential in Nix, who is expected to be ready for training camp. Waddle enters after a steady season with 64 receptions and six touchdowns.
