The numbers:
But even for getting Fuller on a one-year deal, the Miami Dolphins have to be thrilled by the economics of their agreement with the former Houston Texan.

Fuller’s deal is for a base salary of $10.63M for the upcoming season; a figure that marks him as the fifth highest annual average salary of the contracts handed out this offseason at the wide receiver position. The receivers in front of him:

• Kenny Golladay – $18M per season
• Corey Davis – $12.5M per season
• Curtis Samuel – $11.5M per season
• Nelson Agholor – $11M per season

Kudos to GM Chris Grier!

All depends on how many games he plays next season. If we only get 8 games out of him and the others get through the full season then he's the most expensive of the bunch. Injuries is the big knock on Fuller, hopefully that's in his past, if so we'll for sure be looking to lock him up long term after the season's over.

Best WR signing of FA by far

Weird way to start the article: "The Miami Dolphins’ big free agent signing of 2021, wide receiver Will Fuller, is not currently scheduled to play in Miami for an extended period of time.". From other articles, he's served five games of a six game suspension, so he'll miss Week 1. Not sure I'd call that "an extended period of time", unless the suspension means he also has to miss training camp and/or preseason.

It may just be a mistake... that would be my guess

I wonder if he can try to get the suspension reduced to 5 games, that have already happened?

Yup. Same as Parker. Maybe we get lucky and they stay healthy. Certainly not a bad gamble.

He only has one game left
