It’s not Amari Cooper, as had been speculated last week, but the Miami Dolphins are adding another offensive playmaker in the form of another former Dallas Cowboys receiver.
The Dolphins agreed to terms with budding wideout Cedrick Wilson Jr., an athletic, 6-foot-3 deep threat, according to a league source on Monday afternoon.
The deal, which doesn’t become official until Wednesday, is reportedly for three years and $22.8 million, with $12.75 million guaranteed, according to ESPN.
Wilson, in his third season out of Boise State, set career highs with the Cowboys with 45 receptions, 602 receiving yards and six touchdowns.
The Dolphins were believed to be in the mix for Cooper, the former Miami Northwestern High product, before the Cowboys ended up trading him and his $20 million-per-year contract to the Cleveland Browns. Miami did, however, land another former Northwestern Bull in quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to back up Tua Tagovailoa.
