MAY 16: Terms of the deal are in, courtesy of ESPN’s Field Yates (Twitter link). Wynn will earn a base salary of $2.3MM, while incentives could push the value to $2.7MM. As expected, those figures fall well short of what he received on the fifth-year option last year. A strong performance in whatever role Wynn ends up playing could help rebuild his value on the open market heading into next offseason, though yesterday’s addition of Cedric Ogbuehi will add further to the competition for playing time along Miami’s O-line.
MAY 14: As expected, Isaiah Wynn has departed the Patriots in free agency, but he will still be in the AFC East next season. The veteran tackle has signed a one-year deal with the Dolphins, reports Ian Rapoport of NFL Network (Twitter link). 
A 2018 first-round pick, Wynn didn’t make his New England debut until the following season. Injuries have been a constant in much of his career, which has seen him play in 43 games (40 starts) with the Patriots. Primarily a left tackle for three seasons, he has seen time at guard and operated as a right tackle in 2022.
The 27-year-old saw his stock drop considerably last season, however, finding himself being benched midway through the campaign. He was mentioned in trade talks leading up to the deadline, but no teams elected to add him as depth for the stretch run. Wynn was charged with nine penalties committed and four sacks allowed by PFF in nine games played last season, leading to a career-worst grade of 54.6.
The Georgia alum made $10.4MM on the fifth-year option last season, but this Dolphins pact will surely come in at a much lower rate. Wynn – a native of St. Petersburg, Florida – will give Miami experienced depth on the right side of their offensive line, a unit which has remained a work in progress this offseason. Austin Jackson is in line to start at right tackle, despite his fifth-round option being declined.
Wynn will look to compete for the RT role (which involves protecting the blindside for left-handed quarterback Tua Tagovailoa) during training camp. Neither he nor Jackson are under contract beyond 2023, but the pair will provide options for a unit tasked with better protecting Tagovailoa moving forward. The Dolphins had previously made only one addition to their offensive line in free agency (Dan Feeney), but this deal could include upside if Wynn can stay healthy and play to his potential. At a minimum, their offensive front will be deeper this season at the tackle spot.
Wynn is an extremely versatile OL, and if he doesn’t win the RT job, he could back-up pretty much every spot except Center.
Really, he could probably backup at the Center spot as well, but I’m just saying that because I doubt he’s been practicing his snapping very much since his college days.
Wynn is as much of a professional as they come, and he will do whatever it takes to help his team win. Unfortunately, he’s just been hit with a myriad of injuries that have hampered his progress and ability to maintain any level of consistency so far at the professional level.
Hopefully Wynn is able to stay healthy, and add himself back to the strong list of UGA OTs currently in the league. It is kind of cool that all of Jamaree Salyer, Andrew Thomas, Isaiah Wynn, and now Broderick Jones the Dawgs last four LTs will now all be in the league, and most of them will be playing prominent roles as they look to help protect their QBs and help their teams to the playoffs..
more Matt Patricia collateral damage
Good news for Pats defense playing Miami twice a year.
If he was any good the raiders would’ve signed him.
The Dolphins clearly want to WYNN !!
Another one of Bill’s 1st round picks that didn’t get a 2nd contract from the Pats. Bill is a terrible talent evaluator.
All the D-Linemen in the AFC East approve of this signing…
He either lacks talent or lacks desire to excel. His time in Foxboro gave the impression he just didn’t care.
