Dolphins Sign Zach Wilson to One-Year Deal
The Miami Dolphins have bolstered their quarterback roster by signing former New York Jets and Denver Broncos quarterback Zach Wilson to a one-year, $6 million contract. The deal is fully guaranteed and includes performance-based incentives that could increase its value to $10 million.
Wilson, 25, began his NFL career as the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft by the New York Jets. He started for the Jets during his rookie and sophomore seasons but faced challenges, leading to a trade to the Denver Broncos. In 2023, Wilson appeared in 12 games for the Jets, completing 60.8% of his passes for 2,245 yards, eight touchdowns, and seven interceptions.
The Dolphins’ acquisition of Wilson provides a seasoned backup option behind starter Tua Tagovailoa. Wilson’s experience in the AFC East and his potential for growth under Miami’s coaching staff present an opportunity for both the team and the quarterback to revitalize his career.
This move is part of the Dolphins’ broader strategy to enhance their roster during the offseason, aiming to build on their recent successes and strengthen their competitiveness in the AFC East.
