Jaylen Waddle Hinting At Trade From Miami Dolphins?

Jaylen Waddle Hinting At Trade From Miami Dolphins?

Hey, welcome on in guys. Tobin here with you and thanks for checking out the channel. Hope you’re doing well out there. You know, one of the parts that really sucks about your team being one and five is that the the stuff just never stops like that. You know, two stuff aside, but now you got the vultures circling with the whole fire sail. And now we have reached the point which is a delight when you are on the on the on the hunt and you’re trying to have your team make a big swing or a big free agent move, but it really sucks when you’re on the other end of it. And we have reached cryptic social media BS rumor time. And this this is going to make me crazy. Okay, so boots on the gram. Uh Jaylen Wadd, Miami Dolphin star receiver, has made a post on Instagram and it is basically just a collage of his Dolphin photos and he doesn’t post on social media a ton when it’s not an ad. Like he’s usually a guy who just, you know, posted. Now he does post like stories and whatnot, but as far as like an official post, not so much. and he has a collage. It’s him in the rival uniforms and him just walking and walking to the plane. And then there’s one of there’s this cool photo of him with the Bill at the Bills game for a night game. And then there’s kind of like him, you know, with the the the night sky in the background. Beautiful photos. Beautiful photos. And it’s just a dot dot dot dot caption. So do with that what you will. There’s uh you know there’s there’s no real com there’s people uh you know looking oh and you got the googly eyes going everywhere with Jaylen Wadd and I don’t like that at all. Um and it this just sucks. It really really sucks. Now, I don’t know what to make of it because, you know, there’s people claiming on social media that he removed Miami Dolphins from his bio. Um, I got to tell you, look, I don’t know if I believe that. And I’ll tell you a couple reasons why. One, that’s always a fishy one that that people like, “Oh, he he must. there. So, it must have been there past. I don’t know that it was ever there. I don’t I don’t I haven’t paid enough attention to Jaylen Wall’s Instagram. Maybe somebody else has, but I couldn’t tell you today if Tua has that in his bio, if Jaylen Phillips has that in his bio. So, I wouldn’t know if Jaylen Wall had his had that in his bio. That kind of sounds like some uh pardon my French stirring on social media. So, I don’t know if I buy that. Uh and there’s a reason I don’t know if I buy it. And that’s because if I go to his Twitter account, which Wadd is pretty active on, not super active, but you know, he will every once in a while throw up there, he’s got a dolphin emoji still on his bio. So, if he was really going to go through a cleanse, first of all, two things are a classic. Uh, making a stink cleanse. One, you you archive all the dolphins photos. you make a full clean sweep and then you you gotta make sure you get all social medias. So, I don’t think I’m buying that Jaylen Wadd is making a mistake about that. But it also I actually think this could actually and maybe I’m delusional right now. I actually think this could be a good thing where it’s like, hey, he likes it here and he’s just putting it out there like, you know, hey, I the memories here, the the the the things that I’ve done here, I enjoy here. And so maybe that’s the reason why because there’s been a lot of reflections, a lot of tough times. And you know, I that I don’t necessarily take this as a goodbye. But I could be deadass wrong because yesterday as I was broadcasting the red, white, and pink game for the Miami Heat scrimmage on QAM, the the rumors were hot and heavy. Giants, Bills, Patriots. And I think once it got to the division guys, like that really kind of like that was a gut punch for me because I was sitting there and I was like, “Huh, okay. Could I really stomach a world where Jaylen Wadd is waddling for Patriots fans, is waddling for Bills fans?” And that was a tough one to really read because I will say, look, Jaylen Wadd has definitely lived a pretty charmed life as far as his do. He’s very well compensated, but he’s also always been like kind of universally loved. He doesn’t really face that much criticism. It’s always been Tua, Tyreek, Mike McDaniel, and Jaylen Wall’s kind of just the beloved little brother of all of it, which he seems like an awesome dude. I love the waddle. I love when he does fins for the win. He just has great bits. He’s an entertaining ass player. Whenever he makes a cool catch, he’s like very demonstrative in like how he’s like doing the first down thing. I just think he’s he’s cool. Jaylen Wadd is cool. And so I think that that just buys him a lot with everybody. Just seems like a genuine dude. Doesn’t try to be anybody that he’s not. And yes, did he have a a bad play last week where he gave up a turnover? 100%. Has he had that happen before in in in big games with playoffs or whatever? Yes, of course. But ultimately, I think if you were to talk about like approval rating amongst all fans, the dude is really really loved. And that is one of the parts that really sucks about all this is that now the the the buzzards are like, “All right, when are the Dolphins pull the grenade on this puppy and blow it to smitherreens?” Now, I don’t know what the the right compensation is back for the Dolphins to even consider that because I feel like you got to have your socks knocked off for something like that. Even like Chris Greer, terrible this job as he may be, was asked when he was asked about Tyreek Hill in the summer or maybe it was the spring, I don’t recall, but he was like, “Yeah, I mean, like, I’ll trade Tyreek Hill for like two first round picks.” Now, no one’s going to give that for Jaylen Wadd. Um, but a first round pick if you could get one of the bottom teams uh potentially in the league that the the bottom drafting teams in the league. So, one of the better teams in the league, that’s probably how I should have said it. um who would want to part with their first round. Yeah. Okay, then you got to consider it for sure, right? But just, you know, even I was seeing like, oh, a second round pick for Jaylen Wadd. It’s like that’s all right. It’s not nothing, but like it just it it leaves you feeling dirty, you know, especially with him being in his extension and you know, some of the dead money that would still be there. I was reading like it’s still pretty hefty. And look, if the Dolphins are going to go this route, they’re going to they’re going to probably go all the way. Like, it’s going to be 2019 all over again. Just terrible, I would think. Unless the Dolphins are going to go slight re like there’s paths that the Dolphins could go here where it’s just like, hey, blow this sucker up completely redo it. There could be, hey, we close the Mike McDaniel Tua era. We find some rebound QB on the Chiefskis or we draft somebody that we really like and that’s our path. That’s kind of like what the Giants are doing, right? And you keep your talented guys like Wadd and Han and see if Tyreek can come back and, you know, maybe somebody can use all of this talent and figure things out and you got your defense growing a little bit more. Like there are those paths the Dolphins could go as well. It just you very clearly can’t you cannot run it back like that’s that okay that much is clear right this is heading towards disaster. Um it’s probably the end of an era and but are there enough tools left in the toolbox that you could actually build this into something if you were to move on from the coach and quarterback at a certain point? Right? Like if you were to just rip the band-aid off and move in another direction and and that will give you some semblance. Maybe I don’t know you would probably want to keep Jaylen Wall on that call in that case. But it is interesting that all this is uh is is circling around the ether. The guys that do make sense to deal uh are on the defensive side like the Jaylen Phillips thing and the Bradley Chub thing like that. that’s an the if Judon is is off uh if Darren Waller wants to lop on you know hop onto a contender and you can get any kind of draft capital like those are the types of moves that make sense. Um it’s not that the waddle thing is completely off the table to me. I I get it but I think you got to be like you got to be blown away for a deal for him or achan or somebody like that if you’re going to move in that type of direction. Um, but no doubt like this is the other part that they’re having to deal with cuz this stuff’s not going anywhere. Everybody’s salivating, waiting to feast at the bones that is the Miami Dolphins. And so everything is going to be a thing. The jersey photoshops. Um, I know Wadd said today in the locker room that he can ignore most of that stuff that he’s only going to hear from his agent on that type of stuff. And I believe him. You know, I I I think that type of stuff is true. I think those guys, it’s not so much like the the stinker stuff like when you’re being awful. Like I saw Jaylen Phillips this week. He said that after the game last week he had to delete X and he had to delete social media just because it was just getting to be too much. But he’s in a different place than Jaylen Waddle. You know, he’s a guy who’s had vast injuries over his career. He’s in the last year of his deal. Um, and I think somebody could be like, “Oh, he can add something to us.” And that one kind of makes sense cuz like, are you going to pay another pass rusher? It’s like, nah, you probably want Chop Robinson to be the dude. Like, that’s the guy you’re going to hope you can develop and we’ll see what happens. You know, Bradley Chub moving in another direction. Makes some sense. Now, you know, you’re lpping off whatever credible leadership you have in the locker room because of where things are with two tongo right now, which do not seem great. But yeah, this is this is the unfortunate part in in the biggest way. Um, and the other thing that sucks about it if you’re if you’re a Dolphins fan is who do you trust with this stuff right now, right? Like you really you’re already at the point where you want everybody to go in a new direction and it’s like, do you trust Chris Greer to do this stuff? like who who is who is the person that is going to be in charge of putting things in in in their proper place. So that’s another conundrum that you have to deal with with all of this stuff. It’s uh it it’s it’s uh it’s it doesn’t feel good right now and and it stinks, but it is what it is when you’re at this record. Like it it kind of comes with the territory.
