Dolphins to re-sign RB Jeff Wilson

He’s the third back to return this offseason.

The Miami Dolphins have been very active over the last week, as they look to build their roster for the 2023 season.

After re-signing Salvon Ahmed and Raheem Mostert, the Dolphins are continuing to return their 2022 backfield, as, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, they’ve agreed to a deal with Jeff Wilson. The contract is said to be for two years with a max value of $8.2 million.

Wilson, 27, was acquired at last year’s trade deadline in exchange for the Dolphins’ fifth-round pick in this year’s draft. During his eight games in aqua and orange, he rushed for 392 yards and three touchdowns while adding another 94 yards and a touchdown on 12 receptions.

He’ll likely split opportunities with Mostert; the latter probably taking the majority.

Miami entered the offseason with four free agent running backs, and now all are back with the exception of Myles Gaskin.
