Miami reaches out to OT Jedrick Willis

[MrClean]

If he’s 25 and still on the free agent market he sucks donkey balls

The reason he is still on the market is that he has been injury-prone over the last two seasons. In 2024-2023 combined, he has only 12 starts.

Any idea what kind of injuries?

 

[Duss]

People here will find any way they can to crap on this team, even looks like they rather fail to meet some of your agendas

 

[derek]

He this guy been that bad or has he just been disappointing because he was a top 10 pick?

Yes.

This would be a pure lottery ticket, because while he fits the size profile, he has been consistently overmatched playing on the left side, save for a few games in 2021. He's also missed a ton of games with injury, going the distance only once in his 5 seasons. There's a reason he's available IMHO, and if Grier had invested enough in the trenches over the years, we wouldn't be one of the teams in the mix for him. As it stands, I wouldn't be opposed to a minimal deal for him to compete to back up Jackson, but I'd be only slightly above Larry Borom-level excited about it.

In 2022, Butch Barry was with Denver. We had Matt Applebaum. He was fired after the season. The experts among the fan base were begging for us to hire Mike Munchak. They were apoplectic when Barry was hired.

I meant 2023. That year the offense was rolling with a healthy OL even though many said the OL was be horrible.

From what I can find it was an ankle and then a hyperextended knee. I don’t see any surgeries or major injuries. And after the latter it sounds as if he asked to be put on IR.

Looks like Miami continues to search for depth.

At this point I don’t think starters are available. I think you are looking for people better than Eich or Broom

 

[j-off-her-doll]

He was off to a promising start as a rookie, despite switching sides, but injuries have derailed his development. Very talented player with excellent strength in his hands and good athleticism.

Grier is hoping that these vets out there are getting desperate enough to agree to the low ball offers he has on the table. We know the CB from Buffalo got an offer. Wouldn't surprise me if a vet guard also has an offer.

Grier Outsmarts himself constantly, and cant find a way to creatively sign anyone of worth

MCL in 2023.

 

[zullo1]

Wills sucks. Hard pass. I'd rather take a chance on a youngster rather than bringing this bum in.

 

[SF Dolphin Fan]

Wouldn't be a bad move. It's taking a chance on a backup, who has talent.

He was the RT. Leatherwood was the LT.
