Quarterback Zach Wilson and his wife, Nicolette Delano, are currently enjoying a lavish vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, following the conclusion of their fifth NFL season with the Dolphins. The couple shared a cheerful Instagram photo on Tuesday.
Delano, originally from New Jersey, posted a picture of them sharing a sushi dinner, describing it as a “Fun weekend getaway.”
In another snapshot, they were seen alongside Falcons wide receiver David Sills and his partner, Hannah Cartwright. The couple tied the knot last June at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City.
Delano’s mother also joined them on this trip, as revealed in additional pictures.
This vacation comes after a challenging season for the Dolphins, during which the team finished with a 7-10 record, suffering losses for the second year in a row.
Currently, Wilson is a free agent, having signed a one-year, $6 million deal in 2025 to back up Tua Tagovailoa.
Previously, he was the third-string quarterback for the Denver Broncos.
Wilson, who was the No. 2 overall pick by the Jets, played in only four games this past season with the Dolphins, completing six passes for 32 yards.
This year, rookie Quinn Ewers was promoted to take over as the starting quarterback after the team’s former coach, Mike McDaniel, benched Tagovailoa during the second half of the season.
Wilson expressed, “I came here with Tua as my main starter. My goal was to get on the field whenever I had the chance. I didn’t want anyone to get hurt, but if an opportunity arose, I wanted to be ready.” He acknowledged the season didn’t unfold as he had hoped.
Last month, he admitted his frustration, noting how the Dolphins’ decision to take Ewers, a seventh-round draft pick from the previous year, left him feeling a bit confused.
Reflecting on the season after the Dolphins’ significant 38-10 loss to the Patriots in Week 18, Wilson posted on Instagram, “Fifth year. Thank you for the travel, friendship, and memories with the Miami Dolphins,” along with various photos from the season.
The Dolphins are currently undergoing organizational changes, having recently appointed Packers executive John Eric Sullivan as the new general manager after parting ways with Chris Grier in October.
There’s also an ongoing search for a new head coach to replace McDaniel.
Additionally, the quarterback situation remains uncertain, especially since Tagovailoa has mentioned he’s open to exploring changes for the 2026 season. He signed a four-year, $212.4 million contract extension with the Dolphins in July 2024.
