Jeff Wilson: It Would Be ‘A Major Blessing’ To Rejoin Dolphins
Running back Jeff Wilson says he would ‘love’ to return to the Miami Dolphins in free agency.
Jeff Wilson joined the Dolphins in a midseason trade in return for a fifth-round pick from the San Francisco 49ers.Â
He played eight games, combining well with fellow RB Raheem Mostert due to their familiarity with Mike McDaniel’s offense.
A reunion looks likely, because the Dolphins ended the season with no active running backs on the team. Jeff Wilson, Mostert, Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed are all set to become free agents.

Dolphins manager Chris Grier said the organization is open to bringing Wilson back at the NFL scouting combine.
“Yeah, that was the one we talked about the other day for just a little bit because obviously we traded for [Wilson] and obviously [Mostert] and [coach Mike McDaniel’s] relationship as well, too,” Grier said in Indianapolis. “So yeah, we’re very open to those guys coming back. We’ve talked about that scenario where they may be back. We may have the same backfield back next year.
“Obviously, they’re free agents, and that’ll play a part of it, but we’d be very excited to have them back.”

“I would love to be back and want to be back,” Wilson said.
“I love everything about the organization, the city — it’s all been a blessing. So, to stay there and continue to be there and not have to go to another place and re-learn and re-meet everybody all over again would be a major blessing because I love it there, and I feel like they love having me there.”
