Overview
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, as relayed by Sportsnaut, reports Miami is “definitely in” on free agent Malik Willis while teams size up his market.
- Fowler points to a likely range of roughly $20–25 million per year on a two‑year deal, with skepticism that Willis reaches $30 million given just six NFL starts.
- ESPN’s Matt Bowen projects Miami to sign Willis, citing head coach Jeff Hafley’s and GM Jon‑Eric Sullivan’s familiarity with him from their Green Bay ties.
- The Sporting News via Yahoo, citing ESPN’s Marcel Louis‑Jaques, forecasts the Dolphins will pass because of limited cap space, about 30 in‑house free agents, Sullivan’s pledge not to spend big, and a potential $99.2 million dead charge tied to Tua Tagovailoa’s release.
- Miami is about $6 million over the 2026 cap after releasing veterans, with the new league year nearing and the quarterback plan still unresolved.
