Dolphins sign running back, local defensive back to futures contracts
The Miami Dolphins signed two more players to reserve/futures contracts, the team announced on Thursday morning.
The signings of defensive back Quincy Wilson, who is a University of Florida grad that played in high school at University School, and running back Gerrid Doaks, who spent last season on the Dolphins’ practice squad, brings Miami’s total of players on futures deals to six. They signed four on Jan. 11.
The signings allow the Dolphins to keep these players throughout the offseason. They go into effect at the start of the new league year on March 16, when rosters expand to 90.
Wilson has spent five seasons in the NFL, appearing in 32 games with 11 starts for the Indianapolis Colts (2017-19) and New York Jets (2020). He missed the 2021 season on injured reserve with the New York Giants.
Wilson has totaled 61 career tackles (49 solo), two interceptions, eight passes defensed and one fumble recovery in his NFL career.
Wilson was a second-round selection of the Colts in the 2017 NFL draft after three standout seasons with the Gators.
Wilson was rated four stars by Rivals coming out of University School in Davie in 2014. He won a Class 3A state championship as a junior and played in the Under Armour All-America Game after his senior year.
Doaks was a seventh-round pick of the Dolphins last year and spent his rookie season on the team’s practice squad. A former Cincinnati Bearcat, Doaks scored two touchdowns in Miami’s preseason finale at the Cincinnati Bengals last August.
Last week, the Dolphins signed wide receiver Cody Core, cornerback Javaris Davis, tackle Adam Pankey and tackle Kion Smith to futures contracts.
On Wednesday, the Kansas City Chiefs, who host the Buffalo Bills in an AFC divisional-round playoff game on Sunday, signed a pair of players that were on the Dolphins’ practice squad this season: Defensive tackle Andrew Billings and offensive tackle Roderick Johnson.
