    Miami Dolphins' New Quarterback Malik Willis Faces High Expectations and Uncertainty

    The Miami Dolphins have high hopes for their new quarterback, Malik Willis, who they signed to a three-year, $67 million contract. However, expectations are low for the team's performance in the 2026 season, with USA Today projecting them to finish 1-16. Despite this, there are reasons for optimism, including Willis' dynamic running and strong arm, as well as the team's young, hungry roster constructed by GM Jon-Eric Sullivan. Willis' lack of experience and the team's limited talent may lead to struggles, but a successful season could secure his place as the franchise quarterback. The Dolphins are also predicted to draft a quarterback in the 2027 NFL Draft, with some analysts suggesting they could take Ohio State's Dante Moore or Oregon's Dante Moore.

    Cowboys Face Tough Decision on George Pickens' Future

    Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones has acknowledged that keeping both George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb long-term will be challenging due to financial constraints. Pickens, who had a breakout season in 2025, is playing on the franchise tag this year, while Lamb is in the second year of a four-year, $136 million contract. Jones noted that only a few teams can afford to pay two top receivers at the market rate, suggesting that the Cowboys may have to choose between the two in the near future. The team is hoping for another successful season from both players, but the long-term outlook remains uncertain.
