Grading the Dolphins’ moves during the legal tampering period

The Dolphins agreed to five contracts during the window.

The 2022 league year has opened for the NFL, meaning teams are now allowed to officially sign free agents to contracts.

During the league’s legal tampering period, the Miami Dolphins agreed to terms with five players that could help them be better in 2022 and beyond, including quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, running back Chase Edmonds, wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr., guard Connor Williams and special teamer Keion Crossen. All of these deals were able to be finalized after 4 p.m. on Wednesday.

While there will surely be more contracts to come, here’s what we think about all five moves that were agreed to before free agency began.

Dolphins agree to three-year contract with WR Cedrick Wilson Jr.

The Dolphins look to be adding a wide receiver.

The Miami Dolphins have looked to address some of their offensive needs on the first day of the legal tampering period, as they agreed to a deal with running back Chase Edmonds earlier in the day.

Now, according to CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones, the Dolphins plan to sign wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. to a three-year deal. ESPN’s Adam Schefter added that the deal is worth $22.8 million with $12.75 million guaranteed.

Wilson, 26, spent the first three seasons of his career with the Dallas Cowboys where he totaled 837 yards and eight touchdowns on 67 receptions. Wilson also has some experience with punt returns which could be useful for the Dolphins.
