Overview
- The Packers signed quarterback Kyle McCord to a futures deal on Tuesday, a move widely read as preparation for Malik Willis to hit free agency.
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, citing league personnel, identified the Dolphins or Browns as potential destinations for Willis based on recent evaluations.
- Miami’s new decision-makers, GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and coach Jeff Hafley, worked in Green Bay and are viewed as uniquely familiar with Willis’ strengths and limitations.
- Willis boosted his market with a small but efficient 2025 sample in Green Bay, completing 85.7% of his throws for 422 yards and a 145.5 passer rating while adding 123 rushing yards and two scores in four games.
- Cap analysis notes the Dolphins sit about $27 million over the projected 2026 limit, meaning any pursuit of a mid-range starter would require moves before free agency opens March 11.
