Again, we are going to recap a wild day one of NFL

free agency. The edge rushers got paid and it was kind of wild to see. Also, Mike Evans is

leaving the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, one of many skill position players who changed teams. But we start

with the quarterback news because Malik Willis is the new man with the Miami Dolphins.

Malik Willis gets the big time deal, big time.

We say there were people out there saying some crazy numbers for Malik Willis, but it's three

years, 67 million, 45 million guaranteed. I think that's a pretty good number for the dolphins

after they release to Wetaga Viloa. Everybody was acting like it was going to be higher than that. I think for the money that they paid, taking a chance on Malik with the Green Bay connections, not a bad move, right? Yeah, I think it helps minimize some of that risk. Never, never eliminate it, but reduce some of that risk. When you're coaching, your head coach and your general manager know the player, know how he carries himself at practice and in the locker room and what his true strengths and weaknesses are beyond just what you can see on tape. And we've seen Dolphins offensive coordinator Bobby Sloick had a good first year with C.J. Stroud. I mean, year two wasn't nearly as good, but maybe it's a Cliff Kingsbury thing where they're great at first and then adjustments are hard. So that could at least have a good year in store for Malik Willis. Like I think if there's a spot for Malik Willis to, you know, settle in nicely, it was probably going to be this one or I guess Arizona. But I think there's a lot more connections here in Miami. It's just a question of whether they'll put enough talent around him for him to be able to be successful while they're tearing everything else down. Yeah, I think that's going to be difficult to do.
