Dolphins landing 49ers star would completely change the future for Malik Willis

The [Miami Dolphins](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/miami-dolphins)' wide receiver room is almost tough to look at, as I've said a few times now. If there's one thing Miami has to improve on, it's adding a wide receiver or two for Malik Willis to throw the football to. Bringing in Willis just to have this wide receiver room doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense, but that's seemingly where the Dolphins are going right now.

If the Dolphins want to take a risk, there will be some options for them to go after, including Brandon Aiyuk. There have been times when the current [San Francisco 49ers](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/san-francisco-49ers) wide receiver has been a very good player throughout his career. The issue, however, is that he seems to be a bit of a head case. The last thing the Dolphins want to deal with while implementing a new regime would be somebody who doesn't want to be there. However, Moe Moton of Bleacher Report doesn't believe that's too big of an issue, linking the Dolphins to him.

“The Dolphins can't roll out a receiver room of backups and rookies and expect Malik Willis to grow as a first-time full-time starter. He needs help in the passing game. Nearly three weeks ahead of the draft, Jalen Tolbert, Tutu Atwell and Malik Washington lead the Dolphins' receiver unit. None of them have caught 50 passes or eclipsed 610 receiving yards in a season. 

“Aiyuk would be the clear-cut No. 1 option in Miami's aerial attack. Also working in his favor, he's familiar with offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik, who was the 49ers' passing game specialist and coordinator from 2021 to 2022. In the latter year, Aiyuk recorded career highs in catches (78) and touchdown receptions (eight).”

A receiver of his caliber would help. However, considering what we've seen out of the Dolphins for much of the past 20-plus years, I'd rather see this team make smart decisions and bring in guys who are going to fit the culture of what they're trying to build.
