At last year’s trade deadline, the Miami Dolphins sent a fifth-round pick to the San Francisco 49ers to bring running back Jeff Wilson Jr. to South Florida for the remainder of the year.
During his eight games in aqua and orange, Wilson rushed for 392 yards and three touchdowns on 4.7 yards per attempt and another 94 yards and a touchdown on 12 receptions.
Now, the 27-year-old is set to hit free agency for the second offseason in a row, and before he hits the market, he’s brought on new representation. According to the NFLPA, Wilson’s agent is now Drew Rosenhaus, who also represents Myles Gaskin, Jerome Baker, Tyreek Hill, Emmanuel Ogbah and Connor Williams.
Wilson told Sports Extra on Fox that he hopes to return to Miami this offseason to work with head coach Mike McDaniel and an offensive scheme that he’s been productive in.

With the success that both he and Mostert had last season, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Miami be interested in one or both of their top free agent backs returning in 2023.
