    Great article here on the deal Miami signed Fuller to compared to the other top WR's in Free Agency.

    https://dolphinswire.usatoday.com/2...olphins-got-a-steal-with-will-fuller-signing/

    The numbers:

    But even for getting Fuller on a one-year deal, the Miami Dolphins have to be thrilled by the economics of their agreement with the former Houston Texan.


    Fuller’s deal is for a base salary of $10.63M for the upcoming season; a figure that marks him as the fifth highest annual average salary of the contracts handed out this offseason at the wide receiver position. The receivers in front of him:


    • Kenny Golladay – $18M per season
    • Corey Davis – $12.5M per season
    • Curtis Samuel – $11.5M per season
    • Nelson Agholor – $11M per season
    Kudos to GM Chris Grier!

    IF he stays healthy. Otherwise, great deal for both sides.

    I'm definitely not sold on him, and for a one year deal, clearly we aren't either. We are in a good spot at least though - if he spends too much time injured or just doesn't play well, he's gone. If he's actually good, we have the chance to resign before he reaches free agency, or apply the franchise tag.

    Consider that Jamison Crowder and Devante Parker will have bigger salary cap hits than Fuller in 2021.

    more of a two year deal with franchise tag, however, Fuller wanted a one year deal. He wants a big deal and needs to prove he can stay healthy.

    He has already proved to be good. He hasn't proved to be healthy.

    Well this is either an "immediate need" plug....or it's an audition contract with the potential for a longer term contract.
