Zach Wilson Today

HEYTC AI
Zach Wilson, ranked #54 in HeyTC AI Rankings after a dormant 2025 backup stint with the Dolphins (0 yards, 0.0 passer rating), is hitting free agency following his one-year, $6M deal behind Tua Tagovailoa. Unlikely to return to Miami amid limited snaps and the club's pivot to Quinn Ewers—drawing Wilson's public ire over his readiness to start—he's poised to test the market for a fresh shot, potentially as a viable backup or reclamation bridge starter elsewhere like Indy alongside Daniel Jones. With the Dolphins eyeing Malik Willis as Tua insurance, Wilson's nomadic path screams bounce-back audition in 2026 training camps.
