The Dolphins saw plenty of Zach Wilson during his rocky three-year tenure with the Jets.
And while Wilson’s tape has left much to be desired, Miami saw “a lot of talent” in the former first-round pick to sign him to a one-year, $6 million contract this offseason to back up starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
“I think as we were all going through it and we spent a lot of time on that with Mike [McDaniel] and the offensive coaches and the scouts, and we just felt like Zach had a lot of potential and a lot of talent, and I know you could go the veteran route with someone more proven,” Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said Tuesday, according to ProFootballTalk.
