- The Miami Dolphins signed quarterback Malik Willis to a 3-year, $67.5 million contract on Thursday, with $45 million guaranteed, ending the Tua Tagovailoa era.
- General manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and coach Jeff Hafley, who both worked with Willis in Green Bay, led the pursuit to anchor Miami's ongoing rebuild with fresh leadership.
- In recent starts, Willis completed 79% of his passes with six touchdowns and no interceptions, while noting he has matured mentally after learning from four different offensive systems.
- Emphasizing accountability, Willis told reporters, "We should be competing for everything every day," signaling his leadership approach as Miami aims to improve from a 7-10 season.
- The Dolphins face a long road to end their playoff drought dating to 2000; observers suggest three years may be needed to determine if Willis is a quality starter.
