The Miami Dolphins signed Malik Willis to a three-year, $67.5 million contract with $45 million guaranteed, offering him the chance to be a starting quarterback. However, the team has traded away significant receiving talent, including Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, leaving Willis with limited options. The top projected receivers now include Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, and Tutu Atwell, none of whom have proven themselves as reliable primary targets. Despite Willis' positive attitude and impressive performance in mini camps, concerns persist about whether the Dolphins have provided him with a fair opportunity to succeed in a new offensive system under head coach Jeff Hafley.
