Episode notes
Broncos Buy Win-Now Receiver

Payton Scheme Maximizes Waddle
- Sean Payton's offensive scheme makes Waddle especially valuable as a slot and vertical threat who can open the field.
- Simms expects Waddle to create mismatches, boost Cortland Sutton, and jump-start Denver's offense immediately.
Dolphins Intentionally Rebuild
