Both have ties with the Packers, as former Green Bay defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley is Miami\u2019s new head coach and new Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur\u2019s brother Matt coaches the Packers. New Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan was also hired away from the Packers.<\/p>\n<p>The Packers are\u00a0already resigned to losing Willis, who flashed potential as Jordan Love\u2019s backup this season. That was particularly true in Week 17, when he\u00a0showed the kind of touch and athleticism\u00a0that can entice teams.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Willis only has six NFL starts to his name, and is hardly guaranteed to be a success. He only attempted 35 passes for the Packers last season, but he did complete 30 of them for 422 yards and three touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>The Cardinals and Dolphins would likely have to escape from the contracts of Kyler Murray and Tua Tagovailoa, respectively, to make a run at Willis. Both would like to, but it remains to be seen if they can actually do it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please enable cookies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":43066,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43065","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-green-bay-packers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
