Dolphins forecasted to pursue MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson in trade

Summary

The Miami Dolphins signed Malik Willis to a three-year, $67 million contract for the 2026 season. Despite the investment, questions remain about Willis's ability to perform as a full-season starter given his limited experience. ESPN's Dan Graziano noted the possibility of the Dolphins trading for Baltimore Ravens MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson should Willis struggle. Reports suggest that Jackson has a strong desire to play in Miami, adding to speculation about a future trade. The Dolphins may need to give up significant draft capital while also addressing Willis's guaranteed money in a potential deal.
