The Miami Dolphins have waived former Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Isaiah Wilson. Wilson had several off-field incidents during his rookie season with the Tennessee Titans. The trend showed signs of continuing into his time with the Dolphins.
The Titans were fed up with Isaiah Wilson’s inability to act like a professional and traded Wilson to the Miami Dolphins for an exchange of seventh-round picks.
In his brief stint with Miami, Isaiah Wilson showed up late to his physical, arrived late for orientation and missed voluntary workouts Wilson promised he would attend.
We hope Wilson can get some help in the coming months.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero detailed Wilson’s disappointing tenure with Miami:
Among the incidents that led to the #Dolphins waiving OT Isaiah Wilson, per sources:
– Hours late for his physical
– Late for his onboarding process
– Didn't show up for voluntary workouts he had committed to Thursday and FridayTeam tried to support him, but now moving on.

The Tennessee Titans drafted the former Georgia football star No. 29 overall in last year’s NFL draft, but Wilson played three snaps last season.
Wilson almost jumped off a two-story balcony to avoid police at a party in Aug. 2020. Next, Wilson was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list for a second time. He then crashed his car into a wall, receiving a DUI in the process.
In Oct. 2020, Wilson totaled his car in another car accident. On Dec. 2020, he was suspended by the Titans for violating team rules and was placed on the Reserve/Non-Football Illness list. Wilson was caught partying on a boat on New Year’s Eve leading up to a key Week 17 game with NFL postseason implications.
The Tennessee Titans look at Wilson as a first-round bust. The good news was Wilson had a chance to learn from his mistakes with the Miami Dolphins, but he immediately squandered that opportunity.
The Dolphins gave Wilson a shot and his behavior did not improve. Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores, who attended Wilson’s high school, was unable to fix Wilson’s issues.
What’s next for Wilson goes far beyond football and we wish him luck.
