The Miami Dolphins pounced on the opportunity to sign former Dallas Cowboys receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. early in the 2022 free-agency period. In fact, he was Miami’s second free agent addition behind former Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds.
General manager Chris Grier and Miami’s front office inked Wilson to a three-year contract worth $22.8 million with $12.75 million guaranteed. Coach Mike McDaniel’s vision for the offense — especially Wilson — changed after the team acquired Tyreek Hill from the Kansas City Chiefs.
Wilson, 27, struggled to find a consistent role, catching 12 of his 18 targets for 136 yards in 15 games with the Dolphins.
