"If I was Miami Dolphins new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan or new coach Jeff Hafley, I wouldn't sign Green Bay Packers backup quarterback Malik Willis to a multi-year free agent contract to be Miami's starter. We'll find out in a matter of weeks what Sullivan, the former Green Bay vice president of player personnel, and Hafley, the former Packers defensive coordinator, think of the athletic, 26-year-old Willis, who is eligible to become a free agent."
"Free agency starts March 11. It's easy to connect the Green Bay Packers dots: Sullivan comes to Miami, Hafley follows him - and then Willis will follow both of them. Willis, who Green Bay will likely try to keep, would be a two- or three-year commitment at maybe $15-$20 million a year, possibly more. The Dolphins, who are financially strapped at an estimated $27 million over the projected 2026 salary cap, would have to get rid of players to shoehorn Willis onto the roster."
"In four seasons - two with the Titans and two with the Packers - he has six touchdowns, three interceptions and a 98.9 passer rating in 22 games, with six starts, three for each team. Last season he was 30 of 35 for 422 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions and a 145.5 passer rating. It's a very small sample size after four seasons. For me, that says, "No, thank you.""
Jon-Eric Sullivan and Jeff Hafley have connections to Green Bay that could lead to pursuit of Malik Willis in free agency. Willis would likely require a two- to three-year commitment at roughly $15–$20 million per season, forcing roster moves because Miami is about $27 million over the projected 2026 salary cap. Willis has shown limited NFL production through four seasons — six touchdowns, three interceptions and a 98.9 passer rating in 22 games — with an impressive but tiny 30-of-35, 422-yard, three-touchdown outing last season. Miami has Quinn Ewers and Cam Miller on the roster and should take time to evaluate quarterback options for 2026.
