The Broncos, 4-2, travel to face the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday in Week 7.
First NFL Fine for Waddle Goes Off the Books
Waddle, in his 6th NFL season, is on a 4-year, $84.75 million contract extension signed in March 2024 and came to the Broncos via a trade that sent the Dolphins their 2026 1st-round pick.
It was Waddle’s first NFL punishment of any kind.
Waddle has struggled mightily in his first season with the Broncos, and the team’s failure to get him the ball on a regular basis — and his proclivity for dorps – seems to be a weekly topic of discussion.
While Waddle leads the Broncos with 22 receptions for 228 yards and 1 touchdown, those numbers are more of a sign of failure than anything else — he’s averaging an anemic 38.0 yards per game receiving.
