The Miami Dolphins just gave the bag to another wide receiver. On Thursday, the team is signing Jaylen Waddle to a three-year contract extension worth $84.75 million, CBS Sports lead NFL insider Jonathan Jones confirms. The deal includes $76 million guaranteed. Waddle’s new AAV of $28.25 million makes him the fourth-highest paid receiver in the NFL, right behind teammate Tyreek Hill.
Waddle became eligible for an extension this offseason, and he has crossed 1,000 receiving yards in each of his three NFL campaigns. In 2023, Waddle caught 72 passes for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns. The No. 6 overall pick out of Alabama burst onto the scene as a rookie by setting an NFL record with 104 receptions. That record was broken this past season by Los Angeles Rams rookie Puka Nacua, who caught 105 passes. In 2022, Waddle led the league with 18.1 yards per reception while recording a career-high 1,356 receiving yards and eight touchdowns.
