Greer stated emphatically, “There was no exchange of offers from either one of us. It was just general talks. 95% of what’s reported is wrong.” However, when pressed about Waddle specifically, he appeared more reserved, highlighting the player’s non-negotiable position on the Dolphins’ roster. “Jaylen Waddle would not be available to anybody,” asserted Greer.

Yet, skeptics argue otherwise. The idea of swapping Waddle for a player of Jonathan Taylor’s caliber from the Colts seems like an offer too tempting to dismiss outright. While Waddle’s undeniable talent as a receiver has been recognized, some believe that Taylor’s inclusion in the Dolphins lineup could provide the edge Miami needs, even at the cost of losing their talented wideout.

Comparisons flew thick and fast. While Taylor is undeniably the crown jewel of the Colts, Waddle’s position in the Dolphins is less cemented, especially with stars like Tyreek Hill overshadowing him. 

Trade talks are a staple of every NFL season. But when it comes to young, talented players like Taylor, the stakes are especially high. Whether the Dolphins, indeed, are considering parting ways with Waddle remains cloaked in mystery. But one thing’s for sure – the line of questioning hit a nerve, and the NFL community will be closely watching Miami’s next moves.
