Will Fuller is injured or contemplating retirement but he has already stolen $10 million from the Miami Dolphins. No, I’m not going to cop out here and put his name on the list, didn’t I though?

On this slide, it is one person that for the life of me I can’t figure out. I’m talking about Albert Wilson. Wilson once looked like a steal in free agency but the Dolphins, in a traditional Dolphins way, renegotiated his contract in the first year of the deal and pushed a bunch into the future.

Wilson hurt his hip and missed most of one season and then last year opted out due to COVID. Apparently, the year off to recover has led him to opt out again.

Wilson has been targeted 14 times and has 8 receptions on the year for 56 yards. Wilson hasn’t started a game this year which means Mack Hollins has started more.

The Dolphins should have tried to trade him in the off-season and they should have cut him if they couldn’t. His salary was almost entirely recoverable. At least he is on the field. The Dolphins are paying Allen Hurns to sit on IR.
