The San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins are both taking a look at Jack Plummer, the UFL MVP and son of former NFL quarterback Jake Plummer, with workouts lined up over the next week or so.
According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Plummer will work out for the 49ers tomorrow and has a scheduled workout with the Dolphins next week. Wilson reported, "UFL @UFLonFOX MVP quarterback Jack Plummer will work out for the San Francisco 49ers tomorrow, and has a scheduled workout with the Miami Dolphins next week, per a league source @Kprc2,"
That gives Plummer a pair of chances to earn a roster spot as training camp gets underway. The two teams are approaching the summer from different places - the 49ers as contenders heading into the 2026 NFL season, and the Dolphins in the middle of a rebuild - but both are now bringing in the same quarterback for a look.
Plummer earned the UFL MVP award with the Orlando Storm after a strong season. He threw for 2,189 yards with a 65.0% completion percentage on 300 attempts over 10 games, while posting 17 touchdowns and just one interception.
It was enough to put him back on NFL radars. Plummer is now trying to land a roster spot after spending the 2024 and 2025 seasons with the Carolina Panthers, though he never took a snap in the NFL.
His father, Jake Plummer, spent 10 years in the league with the Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos, finishing with 29,253 passing yards, 161 touchdowns, 161 interceptions, and a 69-67 record. Jake Plummer also made the Pro Bowl in 2005.

Former Patriots First Round Receiver Suddenly Linked To AFC East Twist
The Dolphins receiver room has been a talking point for a while, and the latest buzz around it comes from an idea that would add a veteran hand without forcing Miami into a major commitment. The appeal is straightforward: a low-risk move that could steady a group looking for more reliability, while giving the offense another experienced option to lean on if the current mix doesnt hold up.
Brandin Cooks has become the name attached to that possibility after recent stops with the Bills and Saints kept him in the AFC East conversation. For Miami, the attraction is not just what he could do right away, but the flexibility he might give the team later in the year if the Dolphins decide they need to keep turning over the position group.

Tyrel Dodson Suddenly Faces A Big Dolphins Camp Question
The Dolphins have spent the offseason reshaping the linebacker room, drafting three players at the position and locking up defensive captain Jordyn Brooks, a sequence of moves that naturally puts the rest of the depth chart under a brighter spotlight. With training camp set to open in late July in Miami Gardens, every rep will matter for players trying to carve out a role, and the teams linebacker mix already looks like one of the more interesting position battles on the roster.
Tyrel Dodson now finds himself in the middle of that conversation, even as Miami keeps looking for ways to sharpen the roster ahead of camp. Jacob Rodriguez is one of the names to watch in that battle, and the way he performs could shape how the Dolphins view their veteran options at the position. For a team that has already made clear it wants more competition there, the next few weeks may say a lot about who stays in the picture and who becomes movable. [Read more 🡒]
Dolphins Camp Will Expose Whether This Overhaul Can Really Work
Miamis offseason makeover leaves camp with a lot more riding on it than the usual roster sorting. The Dolphins changed players, coaches and executives in a hurry, and now the focus shifts to whether Jeff Hafley can mold a young, unproven group into something coherent while showing he can handle the job at this level. For a team that has spent the spring talking about culture as much as talent, training camp is where those ideas have to stop being abstract.
The most watched names are easy to spot. Malik Willis enters as the handpicked successor at quarterback, Chris Johnson arrives as the second cornerback taken in Aprils draft, and Jonah Savaiinaea is in the mix on the right side of the line after Miami traded up to get him. Willis did not exactly light up offseason practices, but camp should offer a clearer read on what he can bring and whether the Dolphins have any real reason to waver from the plan unless things go badly.
