Alright, so I got curious about what’s happening with Zach Wilson, contract-wise. You hear names thrown around, especially quarterbacks changing teams, and I wanted to get the real story, or at least what’s out there.
So, first thing I did was just poke around online. Started searching, you know, just typing in “Zach Wilson contract” and seeing what popped up. It didn’t take long to see stuff about him landing somewhere new.
Finding the Destination
Pretty quickly, I saw reports mentioning the Miami Dolphins. Okay, so he’s heading to Miami. That made sense, they needed a backup, someone to develop maybe. The next step was figuring out the money side of things.
The details started coming together. Looked like it was a one-year deal. That’s pretty standard for a guy trying to prove himself again after a rough start somewhere else.
The Money Details
Then I dug into the numbers I was seeing:
- Guaranteed Money: Sources were saying around $6 million, fully guaranteed. That’s decent cash, shows the Dolphins have some belief he’s worth investing in for the year.
- Potential Upside: But it wasn’t just the base. Reports mentioned the deal could grow, maybe up to $10 million. Usually, that means incentives – playtime, performance stats, that kind of stuff.
It made me think about other QB deals, like I remember reading about Russell Wilson’s contract with his new team. His seemed way more loaded with incentives, making it almost impossible to hit the absolute maximum. Zach’s deal seems simpler, but still has that chance to earn more if things go well.
Looking Back Briefly
I also recalled seeing news earlier about his time in Denver. It wasn’t a surprise, but I confirmed they declined his fifth-year option. That was pretty much expected, right? It just kinda sealed the end of that chapter and paved the way for this move to Miami.
So, yeah. That was my process. Started with general curiosity, did some searching, found the team (Dolphins), got the basic terms (one year), found the money ($6M guaranteed, up to $10M), and put it in context with what happened before (Broncos declining the option). Seems like a straightforward “prove it” deal for him in Miami. We’ll see how it plays out.
