Dolphins Back Malik Willis as QB1 as Jauan Jennings Signs With Vikings

Coach Jeff Hafley’s public praise signals a firm commitment to a high‑upside reboot at quarterback.

Overview

  • Free agent Jauan Jennings chose a one‑year, $13 million deal with the Vikings after drawing interest from Miami, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
  • Malik Willis attended Dolphins rookie minicamp, worked with first‑year players, and appeared in peak shape in a voluntary show of leadership.
  • Head coach Jeff Hafley lauded Willis’s accuracy, toughness, and athleticism on Richard Sherman’s podcast, and GM Jon‑Eric Sullivan said Willis is already showing leadership.
  • Miami signed Willis to a three‑year contract worth roughly $67 million after releasing Tua Tagovailoa, signaling a reset at the most important position.
  • The receiver group remains young and unproven after moving on from Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, with low‑cost vets Jalen Tolbert and Tutu Atwell and several draft picks, and some analysts say the team may keep future QB options like Brendan Sorsby in mind.
