The Miami Dolphins have a lot of intriguing decisions to make, starting with the quarterback. It seems they are done with Tua Tagovailoa, and with a new regime, they could be aggressive for a new man under center. Let’s take a closer look at who one publication believes they should be going after this offseason.
PFF Believes the Miami Dolphins Should Pursue Malik Willis in Free Agency
“The Dolphins have brought a green and gold tone to South Beach, reconnecting new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley. Perhaps the next move is to then add Green Bay’s prized backup quarterback. Willis played just 314 offensive snaps during his two years in Green Bay while playing behind Jordan Love, but he looked extremely comfortable when given an opportunity. The former Titan earned an 85.8 overall PFF grade with a 79.9 PFF passing grade, tossing five big-time throws to only one turnover-worthy play. The 26-year-old should net a reasonable quarterback deal, which would also help Miami mitigate the potential dead cap from Tua Tagovailoa’s contract.”
Willis performed well when asked to come in as the backup to Jordan Love. Throughout his four-year career between the Tennessee Titans and Green Bay Packers, he has completed 105 of 155 (67.7%) of his passes for 1,322 yards with six passing touchdowns and three interceptions over 22 career games. He also adds 74 rushing attempts for 405 yards (5.5 yards per carry) with four rushing touchdowns. He has a connection with the new regime, as Locker mentioned both going from Green Bay to the Miami Dolphins, so this could be a fit like a glove for Willis.
If the Miami Dolphins release or move on from Tagovailoa, they would only have Quinn Ewers and Cam Miller under contract at quarterback.
