He compared Willis favorably to Justin Fields, who got $20 million per season. Willis has been linked to the Dolphins, Browns and Cardinals this offseason. In a quarterback-hungry landscape, Willis stands out as one of the only true upside plays on the board. He’s got a chance to be the highest-paid quarterback on the market despite making just six starts in his first four seasons.
