Overview
- New Miami head coach Jeff Hafley, who worked with Malik Willis in Green Bay, praised the quarterback’s preparation and playmaking this week without signaling a push to sign him.
- Multiple reports point to Miami as a logical fit because GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and Hafley came from the Packers and know Willis well.
- Cutting Tua Tagovailoa would carry a $99.2 million dead-cap charge, underscoring the complexity of any quarterback change in Miami.
- League interest in Willis extends beyond Miami, with the Steelers, Jets, Vikings, Browns, Cardinals and Raiders cited as potential suitors.
- Green Bay is expected to let Willis test the market after locking in Jordan Love, with valuations ranging from a one-year ~$10.6 million projection to multi-year estimates of $35–$50 million, following Willis’s 6 TD, 0 INT, 134.6 rating in limited action.
