Miami Dolphins sign CB Marco Wilson

Marco Wilson's one-year, $1.315M signing represents a C+ Contract Value Index (CVI) — a below-market deal for a depth cornerback in a prove-it role. Wilson's production tier and market positioning suggest Miami is banking on a veteran reclamation at minimal cost rather than a long-term solution at the position. At $1.315M AAV on a short-term pact, this is replacement-level salary anchored to a low-risk commitment, the kind of transaction that preserves cap flexibility without betting significant resources on unproven current-season performance. The Dolphins are in playoff contention (7-10, 10th seed in the AFC) with limited margin for error down the stretch, which frames this as a ceiling-floor move — either Wilson contributes as a solid starter-caliber veteran, or he exits with negligible dead-cap bleeding. For a team treading water in the win-now zone, the value math checks out: minimal upside bet, minimal downside cost. The CVI grade reflects honest market pricing for a one-year, low-AAV signing; it's neither a bargain nor an overpay, just efficient depth construction in the offseason window.
