The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... DeVante Parker? All but gone. Danny Amendola? Iffy to stay. Even Kenny Stills could be at risk, with $4 million in cap savings if he’s cut. Then there’s Wilson, who’s got the most job security of any Dolphins receiver, and perhaps any Dolphin -- period. Assuming he has no setbacks from last fall’s hip injury, you can pencil Wilson in as a Week 1 starter.
Diehards Line:
So wrote Herald staffer Adam H. Beasley, who also reminded readers that Wilson was the Dolphins’ most explosive receiver (15 yards per catch) a year ago. And his contract — he would cost more against the cap to cut than keep — makes it a no-brainer. Then there’s this: His new position coach, Karl Dorrell, is a huge fan. “He was pretty dynamic wasn’t he?” Dorrell said recently. “He’s a very unique player. I’m really excited about him. .... I hear he’s doing a really good job with the recovery process but you could tell when he was on the field, he had a number of ways to affect the defense and to make the defense really pay attention to where he is and things like that.” Another plus in Wilson’s column? He fits into Brian Flores’ team-first philosophy. Wilson’s size -- 5-9, 201 -- won’t be held against him either. Dorrell said he does not stick to prototypes, but rather likes a good mix of size and speed. And Wilson has that.
