NY Jets fans in disbelief over Dolphins’ baffling Zach Wilson signing
What are the Dolphins doing?
If there’s one thing NY Jets fans know all too well, it’s bad quarterback play. The franchise has endured decades of disappointing performances under center, but few have been as memorably disastrous as Zach Wilson’s tenure.
In fact, few quarterbacks in modern NFL history with as many starts as Wilson have performed quite as poorly as he did as a member of the Jets. That’s what makes it all the more shocking that he’s returning to the AFC East.
The Miami Dolphins signed Wilson to a fully guaranteed one-year, $6 million contract on Monday with the expectation that he will serve as their primary backup in 2025. Wilson spent the entire 2024 season as the Denver Broncos’ third-string QB but did not appear in a game.
The Dolphins are entrusting Wilson to be their top backup quarterback behind arguably the league’s most injury-prone starter in Tua Tagovailoa. He’ll also be asked to play in an offensive system that’s very similar to the one he famously hated under Mike LaFleur in New York.
What could go wrong?

Wilson is statistically one of the worst quarterbacks in modern football history. The former BYU star finished his three-year Jets career with 23 touchdowns and 25 interceptions, completing just 57 percent of his passes and averaging 6.3 yards per attempt.
