Dolphins waive troubled OL Isaiah Wilson

The Miami Dolphins have waived former Tennessee Titans and Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Isaiah Wilson.

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:

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.

Isaiah Wilson is taking his talents to South Beach

Former Georgia football OL Isaiah Wilson has been traded by the Tennessee Titans to the Miami Dolphins after just one season in Nashville.

Former Georgia offensive lineman Isaiah Wilson had his fair share of off-field incidents occur during his rookie season in the NFL. The once Georgia football star was drafted 29th overall by the Tennessee Titans in last year’s NFL Draft, but only played three snaps during his time in Nashville.

Wilson, along with a 2022 seventh-round pick, has been traded to the Miami Dolphins for a 2021 seventh-round pick, per Ian Rapoport.

Wilson nearly jumped off of a two-story balcony to avoid police at a Tennessee State University party this past August. A few weeks after, Wilson was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list for his second time and crashed his car into a concrete wall just days later, receiving a DUI in the process.

In late October, Wilson was involved in another car accident, totaling his vehicle in the wreck. On December 5th he was suspended by the Titans for violating team rules and was then placed on the Reserve/Non-Football Illness list.  He was caught partying on a boat on New Years Eve leading up to a big Week 17 matchup against the Texans.  Wilson then posted a drug disclaimer on his Instagram account and later Tweeted: “Im done with football as a Titan… No further comments.”

Wilson’s Tweet became a reality as Titans fans will forever look at Wilson as a bust of a first-round pick. The good news is Wilson is still young and has time to learn from his mistakes and get his act together in Miami for new head coach Brian Flores, who happened to attend Wilson’s alma mater of Brooklyn Poly Prep Country Day School.

Former Georgia OT, NFL first round pick Isaiah Wilson says ‘I’m done with football’ in a tweet that has since been deleted

Former Georgia Bulldog Isaiah Wilson, now a Tennessee Titan, may be done with the NFL after just one season. Details here.

Former Georgia Bulldog Isaiah Wilson’s short NFL career has been a whirlwind of off-the-field mishaps.

The No. 29 overall pick was drafted in 2020 NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans and in his first season, the Brooklyn, N.Y., native was put on the COVID-19 list twice, once during training camp and another time in October, and only saw the field for four snaps before being added to the team’s non-football injury list in December.

The rookie right tackle also had two run-ins with the law in his first NFL season. Wilson was given a trespass warning when Tennessee State University police broke up an off-campus party during training camp and in September, he was arrested and charged with a DUI after running his car into a wall.

Wilson sent this tweet on Monday.

The tweet was quickly deleted, but all signs point towards Wilson not returning as a Titan.

At Georgia, Wilson was all game and one of the top tackles in the SEC before heading to Nashville last year.

He played 25 games for the Bulldogs and earned AP ALL-SEC second team honors in 2019.

It’s hard to put a finger on what exactly is going on between the team and Wilson, but Titans general manager Jon Robinson addressed his status during a team press conference on Tuesday and said he had not spoke with Wilson.

The Titans signed Wilson to a four-year, $11.6 million contract in August.
