Dolphins are all in this year with the moves they are making and that bodes very well for Jeff seeing as how it's mainly Mostert getting the carries for them. They don't look very deep at RB so it appears to be a really good situation with a hopeful contender. Good luck to him!

Unfortunately the Dolphins' separate deal for LB Bradley Chubb is getting all the attention, but best of luck to Jeff. All of a sudden, the AFC East has become a tough division.

Thank God he's out of SF.

Only the 4th Mean Green alumni to play for the Dolphins.  The others are Abner Haynes (toward the end of his career), Patrick Cobbs, Nate Brooks, and now Jeffrey Wilson.

Now I need a Dolphins throwback Jeffrey Wilson jersey under the Christmas tree.

'9ers fans seem pretty disappointed about him leaving

[Monkeypox]

Well, I'm excited. I can root for the Dolphins. With the 9ers, I always had to root for Jeff and root against his team.

As a lifelong Dolphins fan, all I can say is…

 

 FINS UP!!!

[Glory to the Green]

My wife’s a Dolphins fan. Definitely a win-win!  GMG!

Traded 5th round pick.  He was a cheap get, as far as salary.  Only $1 mil.   Next season he will be a free agent!

That puts in in pretty clear terms

F the 9ers.  Ready to see Jeff get a fair shake.  Besides, he gets out of SF and moves to a better state.

Haven't read that article yet from SI but I think this will be great for Wilson. McDaniel, the Dolphins HC, was the 49ers OC last year and the 49ers run game coordinator from 2017 to 2020. Clearly there's something he sees in Wilson to go out and get him. Hopefully he gets a bigger role in this offense.

The only potential downside is that he also saw the same thing in Mostert.

He ran counter play so well.  I think we have run a counter play since Wilson graduated?

They traded Chade Edmonds to Denver in the Bradley Chubb trade. Miles Gaskin hasn't seen much playing time this year. Seems they aren't happy with their RB production so far. I'm thinking when they sent Edmonds to Denver, they knew they were going to go after Jeff Wilson with the goal of trying him out at RB1.

But I thought his former 49er teammate Mostert was the starter and leading rusher for the Fins.

He is... on a team that's bottom 5 in rushing yards per game. More importantly, they're 6th worst in yards per carry. Despite all the attention Hill/Waddle demand in the secondary, they aren't getting any kind of rushing attack. That's a problem as you get closer to the playoffs.

49ers’ John Lynch explains Jeff Wilson trade, says Elijah Mitchell is close to returning:

"SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The 49ers never actively shopped locker room favorite Jeff Wilson Jr., general manager John Lynch said Tuesday.

But when the Dolphins called last week with mild interest — then called back with more urgency Monday — the 49ers couldn’t turn down their ultimate offer, a fifth-round pick".

If Wilson performs I doubt he will be a free agent next year.  The dolphins will give him a new contract this year.

Very true. Shanahan never gave him starter snaps but he always produced when he had his number called. Glad he's going back to a coach that knows him so well and knows what he can do
