Waddle pulls defender from box; forces pick-your-poison coverage vs. Sutton.

Jalen Waddle is expected to be a game-changer for the Broncos offense, pulling an extra defender out of the box and creating more favorable matchups for other skill players. Cody Roark notes that Waddle can win in open space and will force defenses to choose between focusing on him or Cortland Sutton. Roark expects Waddle to coexist well with Sutton due to their different skill sets, with Waddle's presence opening up opportunities for Sutton, RJ Harvey, and other receivers. Roark indicates Waddle will carry a $27-28 million salary cap hit next year, reflecting his importance to the offense.
