Reports: Dolphins Sign QB Malik Willis to 3-Year, $67.5 Million Deal
Malik Willis signed a three-year, $67.5 million deal with $45 million guaranteed to become Miami Dolphins' starting quarterback, replacing Tua Tagovailoa.
- On March 9, 2026, the Miami Dolphins agreed to a three-year, $67.5 million contract with Malik Willis, a source told UPI.
- Cost considerations—including Tua Tagovailoa's $54 million owed—pushed Miami to sign Malik Willis, who reunites with Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley after two Green Bay seasons.
- Looking at recent games, Willis completed 30 of 35 passes for 422 yards, three scores, and no interceptions in four appearances last season for the Packers.
- On the field, Willis provides Miami a running quarterback who can pick up first downs, and his familiarity with Sullivan and Hafley likely secures him as starter for at least two seasons.
- Historically, with eight draft picks, the signing of Willis makes drafting Ty Simpson unlikely, as Willis could become the 10th different opening-day starter since Dan Marino retired.
