There will be no holdout for the No. 6 overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft.
The Dolphins made sure of that by agreeing to a four-year contract with the team’s first-round selection, Jaylen Waddle, giving Tua Tagovailoa the much-needed No. 1 receiver the quarterback was lacking in Miami.
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, Waddle’s rookie contract is worth $27,085,996 fully guaranteed. The rookie receiver will also be receiving a $17,058,904 signing bonus.
Waddle arrives in Miami after catching 106 passes, racking up 1,999 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns via receptions in addition to 733 return yards and another two touchdowns via returns.
