New Miami Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan was in Indianapolis today as the NFL Scouting Combine is taking place ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. While speaking with the media in attendance, the quarterback position was discussed at length \u2014 including the possibility of signing former Green Bay Packers backup, Malik Willis.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what Sullivan had to say about potentially adding a player to Miami\u2019s roster who his former Packers staff traded for less than two years ago:<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very happy for Malik on a personal level\u2026 Malik is a very, very good kid. [The level of interest in him] is a testament to him and how he played and the opportunities that he got. As it pertains to the Miami Dolphins, listen, I think I\u2019d be lying to you\u2026 any team that is potentially in a needy quarterback situation, if they tell you they\u2019re not talking about Malik Willis, that would be a lie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sullivan would continue, but this time while keeping his cards close to his chest.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we\u2019ve talked about a lot of people \u2014 a lot of free agents. Malik\u2019s just one of them. We have no idea what that\u2019s going to look like in our room. Is it going to be multiple draft picks? Is it going to be a free agent along with Quinn [Ewers]? Who knows? We have so many factors at play \u2014 we\u2019ve got a lot of decisions to make as we move through the next couple of weeks, but I wish Malik the best. [I have] a lot of like for the human being. He\u2019s a great kid.\u201d<\/p>\n
With the Dolphins hiring a new general manager and head coach (Jeff Hafley) both from the Packers\u2019 organization, combined with the situation the team is in with needing a new quarterback, the dot connecting to the recently ranked number one free agent in Malik Willis will continue to be strong until the start of free agency on March 11th, just over two weeks from today.<\/p>\n
