Considering Tagovailoa's concerning injury history, Wilson has a chance of starting in 2025. For a Dolphins squad with playoff aspirations, they should have aimed higher when addressing their need at backup quarterback. By settling for Wilson, they might have resigned themselves to a bleak fate.

After loading up on the offensive line in free agency, the Dolphins have added a new weapon at wide receiver for Tua Tagovailoa.

The Dolphins used Snoop Huntley, Skylar Thompson and Tim Boyle in Tagovailoa’s place, but the former Alabama All-American will have a new backup in 2025. Miami has reached an agreement with quarterback Zach Wilson on a one-year, $6 million contract, the Miami Herald, NFL Network and ESPN reported on Monday.
