The New York Giants must consider trading for this talented wide receiver before the 2025 NFL Trade Deadline.

After a brutal 2-5 start to the 2025 NFL season, the New York Giants are in an intriguing spot as we quickly approach the trade deadline.

On one hand, it’s clear that the rebuilding franchise would look to trade some of the key pieces on both sides of the ball due to the Giants' lacking playoff hopes. Some of the names, such as defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux, quarterback Russell Wilson, and running back Devin Singletary, will continue to swirl around in trade rumors, with many believing they do not fit in the long-term plan.

However, star wide receiver Malik Nabers’ season-ending injury puts general manager Joe Schoen in an interesting spot, as rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart does not have a top weapon at his disposal.

While the season is likely not to result in a potential playoff appearance, the focus must shift to Dart in order to assist his development in his first season with the organization.

Luckily for Dart and the rest of the franchise, the answer to this million-dollar question may lie down south.

Despite having playoff aspirations heading into the 2025 NFL season, the Miami Dolphins are far from any Super Bowl run after starting the year with a 1-6 record. With head coach Mike McDaniel on the hot seat, it’s safe to assume the Dolphins are close to a full-blown rebuild heading into 2026.

This horrific start to the season has paved the way for Miami’s star players to be involved in trade rumors, with wide receiver Jaylen Waddle headlining the potential fire sale.

The former 2021 first-round pick has managed to put together a fantastic resume throughout his time with the Dolphins, recording 4,534 receiving yards and 23 touchdowns in his five seasons in the NFL.

Waddle’s impressive blend of smooth route-running and elite speed has allowed him to be a dynamic weapon in McDaniel’s offense game plan, but with Miami looking to rebuild, New York becomes a prime destination for the young talent.

Prior to the 2024 NFL season, Waddle signed a three-year, $84.75 million extension with the Dolphins. While this massive contract would be a burden to most playoff teams looking for a wideout, the Giants could afford to trade for the 26-year-old with both Dart and Nabers on their rookie contracts.

If New York ultimately decides to pull the trigger on Waddle, he would be an excellent pass catcher to help aid Dart as he battles his way through his rookie season. In addition to his help in 2025, Waddle would make for a perfect secondary target for the young quarterback in 2026 and beyond once Nabers returns from injury.
