Isaiah Wilson Traded to Miami Dolphins
Right tackle Isaiah Wilson has a chance to resurrect his NFL career with the Miami Dolphins, according to reports.
Isaiah Wilson was drafted 29th overall in the first round of last year’s NFL draft by the Titans. Tennessee liked him in the buildup to the draft, and gave him a four-year $11.6 million contract.
It’s fair to say his rookie season did not go as planned. Isaiah Wilson found himself on on the Covid-19/Reserve list twice, in training camp and October
Wilson’s off-field discipline eventually landed him on the non-football injury list. Ultimately, he only played four snaps all season.

Wilson was served with a trespass warning for an incident at an off-campus Tennessee State party. Reportedly, he fled to the top balcony and considered jumping.
He was then charged with a DUI after hitting a concrete wall with his vehicle in September. His actions caused Titans general manager Jon Robinson to publicly question him.
“We put him on the reserve/non-football injury list and haven’t spoken to him since. He’s going to have to make a determination on whether he wants to do what it takes to play pro football. That will be on him,†Robinson said.
The Miami Dolphins were also looking at Wilson during the 2020 NFL draft, and he could have joined them. He has some connections in Miami that might help him to flourish there.

Wilson attended the same Brooklyn high school as Dolphins coach Brian Flores. As well as that, he was in college with guard Solomon Kindley. However, it might take more than that to eke out his talent, if Robinson’s previous comments are anything to go by.
“I know what the expectation level is here, and it’s no different than any other player on the football team. We have a certain standard that we want players to prepare and perform at professionally, and as people, and there’s a lot of work to be done there,†he said.
