Former Jets quarterback Zach Wilson, selected second overall in 2021, is heading to the Miami Dolphins after struggling with inconsistency in New York. Despite throwing 23 touchdowns to 25 interceptions with a 73.2 passer rating, Wilson showcased potential with his strong arm and mobility. The Dolphins aim to revitalize Wilson's career, paying him $6 million guaranteed plus incentives. With general manager Chris Grier's focus on enhancing the backup QB position following Tua Tagovailoa's injuries, the team bypassed multiple free agents in favor of Wilson, hoping to capitalize on his talent.
"You see the arm talent," Broncos coach Sean Payton said of Wilson last summer.
General manager Chris Grier vowed to address backup quarterback in free agency after Tua Tagovailoa missed six games last season, four due to a concussion.
Wilson went 12-21 as a starter, flashing a strong arm and mobility; he ran for 498 yards on 5.4 per carry with the Jets.
The Dolphins believe they can salvage him despite three disappointing years in New York.
