Miami just elevated former packer developmental 3rd stringer Tim Boyle over the weekend. He may even start next Monday night!?!?

Screw a team when they're desperate by taking their 2nd...this opportunity may not come around for a while. ;)

Still have Clifford waiting in the wings...maybe a bit more humble and motivated?
Considering that Miami is in the AFC East with Jets and Buffalo and now lost Tua, I’d fully expect a 2025 2nd Rounder to be a Top 40 selection. I’d be all over that in a hypothetical situation. Thats potentially another player like Cooper or Reed etc. I’m all over that

My realistic bet would be we keep Malik and IF we traded him it would be 2025 or after. Probably still getting a later Day 2 or earlier Day 3 value + his services for another year.

I really see a scenario where we’d design some plays for Malik later this year or if we make the Postseason. Only way I’d trade him is if we look awful before trade deadline and someone ponies up a 4th straight up or swaps a 3rd rounder etc.

Jimmy G garnered a 2nd round pick for New England after playing well in 2 starts. I'd offer Willis to Miami for a 2nd rounder as soon as Love returns. Their "other option" is Trey Lance, and I'd think Willis offers much more upside.

Wouldn't take anything less right now, but would consider a 2nd or 1st swap during the draft in '25. Kid deserves a long-term chance to start somewhere.
I'd be happy with a 3rd or 4th for him. 2nd or higher would be unbelievable.

Don't even get an extra player with a 1st round swap. And maybe he could win some games for them. 1st or 2nd based on results. Wins and losses. At least I'd like that better. But I don't mind keeping him for this year and next either.
