In ESPN's mock negotiation scenario, soon-to-be free agent Malik Willis received offers from three teams: Arizona Cardinals (2 years, $33M), New York Jets (2 years, $40M), and Minnesota Vikings (1 year, $20M fully guaranteed). The Vikings' offer was selected as the best option for Willis, allowing him to prove himself for one year before potentially securing a larger contract in 2027.
The mock negotiation, featuring ESPN reporters representing teams and free agents, excluded offers from the Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins, and Pittsburgh Steelers due to salary cap concerns. Teams can begin legally negotiating with Willis this Monday as he enters free agency.
