Breaking down Dolphins WR Preston Williams' new contract

The contract doesn’t guarantee that he’ll make the team in 2022.

Now, Williams is back in Miami on a one-year contract worth $1.49 million with $275,000 guaranteed. The guaranteed money comes from his signing bonus ($100,000) and the portion of his base salary that is guaranteed ($175,000). The deal has a total base salary and of $965,000 and per-game roster bonuses up to $425,000.

With the way that this contract is structured, the Dolphins would only create $275,000 in dead cap if they were to release Williams. At this point, he’s fighting for that fourth wide receiver spot with a number of wideouts on the roster, including Trent Sherfield, Lynn Bowden Jr., and River Cracraft.

Will be interesting to see how this goes. :ffic:
 
Like Williams, was in the doghouse with Flores for whatever reason. Going to be hard to get balls thrown this year though with our depth. His size gives him a little more advantage though, maybe he takes that 4th spot but I’d give Bowden the inside track as I think he’s similar to deebo. Expecting Bowden to take the Deebo role on the handoffs and inside stuff while hill and waddle take Deebos outside/end around plays.

Opposite end of the spectrum. I hate Williams as a WR. He can make some plays on athleticism but he has some of the worst technique I've ever seen in my life and makes head scratching decisions like jumping to catch balls thrown at belly level.
 
He's a role player at best, so we are also expecting his production to increase. Hill and Waddle can't catch every type of throw as they are natural slot receivers but the bigger receivers are the ones we are gonna count on corner routes and slants.
 
Flashed his first preseason game, even made Josh Rosen looked good. All downhill since.

The only two games he showed the past two years was against SF and Arizona in 2020 in which his primary cover was a practice squad player and a special teams player who got their only action at CB that year due to injuries.

Drops, falls down, prefers to basket catch instead of using hands, jumps to basket catch when doesn't need to, and often injured. So far, a lesser version of Chris Chambers. Maybe he will be able to exploit a mismatch from time to time, but if he becomes a primary WR then Miami is in trouble.
 
I think our WR unit is set. Hill, Waddle, Wilson, Williams, Bowden, Sherfield. Option is there to cut Williams (or Bowden/Sherfield), but I don’t think we’re going into camp expecting to do so or to have a serious competition. This is our WR room.
