As it is now, Ewers will likely be the starter next season. The beginning of the end of Tua’s career was when he got benched and now with a new GM and HC the fat lady is done singing. Even Tua knows his career in Miami is over as he has sold his home in Davie.
The million-dollar question is how the Dolphins are going to get him off the books. I would not trade for him if I was a GM and his salary makes it even more difficult unless Tua takes a pay cut. Not only do the Dolphins know that he is not a franchise QB, but other teams do as well. A stop gap or backup at best.
Zach Wilson is a gonner as well and will not be resigned. He is what he is, a first round bust that can’t even be counted on as a backup.
Sully has already confirmed that he will not build the team with a bunch of free agent mercenaries, however QB is the most important position in all of sports. This is where rumors of the Dolphins signing Malik Willis comes in.
A lot of folks on here are not thrilled about Willis, however the Dolphins should absolutely try and sign Willis if he is affordable although there will be a bidding war for his services. He is still in his prime at 26, played very well filling in for Love and showcased that he has possible big upside.
Willis is a dual threat with good arm strength, and the Dolphins can win with him behind center. Willis would be an upgrade, and defenses would have to game plan against his mobility giving the Dolphins offense another aspect for opponents to be concerned about. A poor man’s Lamar Jackson.
Here are his stats in limited starts the last two seasons with the Packers. One of the more important stats is zero interceptions.
2024 Stats:
550 Yds Passing, 74.1 Comp%, 3 TDs 0 INTs, 77.3 QB rating
138 Yds Rushing, 4.6 Yd Avg, 1 Rushing TDs
2025 Stats:
422 Yds Passing, 85.7 Comp%, 3 TDs 0 INTs, 93.1 QB rating
123 Yds Rushing, 5.6 Yd Avg, 2 Rushing TDs
Lastly per Sully’s press conference, you can probably bank on that he will draft a QB in this year’s draft and in drafts going forward even if the team somehow signs Willis.
