Zach Wilson is set to return to the AFC East a year after the New York Jets let him go. Early in the 2025 NFL free agent negotiation period, the former first-round pick agreed to a one-year contract with the Miami Dolphins, according to NFL Media. Wilson, who spent three seasons with the Jets, was drafted No. 2 overall. He was traded to the Denver Broncos during last year’s draft but did not play. Now, he is expected to compete for a backup spot behind Tua Tagovailoa, the only Dolphins quarterback currently under contract.
