ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported on SportsCenter this weekend that teams around the NFL are “ at least monitoring ” the future of Tyreek Hill with the Dolphins.
“I have talked to a few teams who are at least monitoring his future a little bit ,” Fowler said, via the New York Post. “ Could he be a potential trade target? Now, I know the Dolphins earlier this summer were telling teams, ‘No, we’re not trading Tyreek Hill.’ But they just wonder, is he going to be available? It could be wishful thinking, maybe they want him to be available. But he’s a player, when I bring up to teams, ‘Hey, who is sort of a trade target you’re watching?’ — they bring up Tyreek Hill. So, we’ll see. He’s a big option for Tua [Tagovailoa], that would be a major move if they did move away from him.”
The veteran wideout ended the season saying he wanted out of Miami but retracted that statement once he was out of the heat of the moment. He has since taken full accountability for his comments after the final game of the season and committed himself to Miami.
Another round of speculation was touched off by a recent domestic incident involving Hill and his wife, who has since filed for divorce, but no charges or arrests were made. Hill has a long history of drama off the field, but it doesn’t seem like this incident moved the needle for the Dolphins at all.
Hill, 30, is a former fifth-round pick of the Chiefs back in 2016. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $2.58 million contract in 2019 when the Chiefs signed him to a new three-year $54 million extension that included $35.2 million guaranteed.
The Chiefs traded Hill to the Dolphins during the 2022 offseason. From there, Hill signed a four-year, $120 million contract with the Dolphins that included $72.2 million guaranteed.
He was due base salaries of $19.665 million and $21.835 million over the next two seasons when he agreed to a reworked three-year, $90 million contract with $65 million in guarantees.
In 2024, Hill appeared in all 17 games for the Dolphins and caught 81 passes for 959 yards receiving and six touchdowns to go along with eight rushes for 53 yards.
