Former Miami Dolphins general manager Mike Tannenbaum set the NFL world on fire on Tuesday when he proposed that the Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs should swap wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and cornerback Trent McDuffie.
Fans went crazy in response on social media, but the first Dolphin to share their thoughts on the topic was wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who has been vocal about supporting his teammates since he was traded to Miami from Kansas City just two years ago.
My boy waddle is the future , he is better than I was at this point in his career and for people in this fan base to want to trade him is ludicrous 🥹

Through three seasons, Waddle has recorded 251 receptions for 3,385 yards and 18 touchdowns. He has the most receiving yards by any Dolphin through the first 47 games of their career, and he’s the first in team history to put up 1,000 yards in three consecutive seasons.
Even before Hill and head coach Mike McDaniel arrived in South Florida in 2022, Waddle was already off to an impressive start in aqua and orange, setting the NFL’s rookie record for receptions (104, which was broken by Puka Nacua this past year).
Him and Tua was special before me and will be special after I leave 🥹

Hill has three years remaining on his contract with the Dolphins, and it looks like he wants to keep Waddle around with him. Miami should want that as well.
