Miami Dolphins Take a Risky Gamble: Signing Malik Willis for $67.5M
The Miami Dolphins have entered a full rebuild mode this offseason, parting ways with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and signing Malik Willis to a hefty $67.5M deal. Despite his limited pro experience, the team sees potential in Willis, who had a brief stint with Green Bay. The Dolphins new coach and general manager, Jeff Hafley and Jon-Eric Sullivan, both from the Packers, are familiar with Willis. ESPN analyst Seth Walder gave the move an A grade, citing the connections from Green Bay and the potential upside of a young talent. However, Willis has only six starts and 22 games over four NFL seasons, making this a clear gamble. The Dolphins hope his flashes of promise in Green Bay translate to Miami, and well see how it plays out in the 2026 season.
