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.

Zach Wilson is back in the AFC East one year after the New York Jets cut ties with the much-maligned quarterback. Hours into the start of the 2025 NFL free agent negotiating period, the former first-round draft pick agreed to terms with the Miami Dolphins on a one-year contract, according to NFL Media.

The Miami Dolphins’ wide receivers had eight touchdown receptions during the 2024 season – six by Tyreek Hill and two by Jaylen Waddle. In 2025, Westbrook-Ikhine will be among the wide-receiver targets for Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa,

A former Super Bowl champion with Tom Brady is returning to the Miami Dolphins, led by Tua Tagovailoa, for the 2025 NFL season. The Miami Dolphins continue to believe in Tua Tagovailoa, but the front office knows that the quarterback needs help from their side in order to succeed.
