Miami's Malik Willis gamble is a low-cost, high-upside bridge QB signing with real developmental intrigue. Multiple headlines question whether the Dolphins will surround Willis with adequate weapons, signaling media skepticism. The strongest signal is Green Bay's loss being Miami's gain — Willis showed flashes of dual-threat ability in limited starts. Fans debate whether Willis is a placeholder or a legitimate long-term answer under center. If Miami invests in skilled positions via the draft, Willis could outperform modest expectations in 2025.
