When Malik Willis signed with the Miami Dolphins this offseason, it gave him the first real opportunity to be a starting quarterback full time since he was drafted by the Titans in 2022.
But it’s also a different Dolphins team than the one he joined back in March. Willis signed with Miami on March 9. Just over a week later, the Dolphins traded their No. 1 receiver, Jaylen Waddle, to the Denver Broncos.
Not having Waddle changes the Dolphins’ offensive dynamic significantly. Willis said he’d have loved to have Waddle to throw to but that the decision to trade him wasn’t his to make.
“It was unfortunate, for sure, to say the least,” Willis said Tuesday from Dolphins OTAs, via the Sun-Sentinel. “That’s a really good player, and I would have loved to have played with him.
“But that’s above my pay grade. It’s out of my hands.”
