Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis has two years to prove he can lift this team to the playoffs. At least that is how his contract is designed. Miami added the top free agent quarterback minutes after free agency began on Monday. It will become final on March 11th.
Willis agreed to a three-year contract with the Dolphins, but in essence, it is more of a two-year deal with a lot of guaranteed money. Miami is paying him like a low-end starter with room to move on or keep him should things work out.
According to new reports that are surfacing, Miami will be on the hook for $45 million in guarantees, with most of that money in the form of a signing bonus.
