Tensions have mostly cooled down between Tyreek Hill and the Miami Dolphins. The wide receiver publicly apologized and took back his pseudo trade request (even if his camp continued to fuel rumors behind the scenes), and NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported the Dolphins don’t plan to trade Hill.
His colleague, Cameron Wolfe, isn’t so sure after his talks with Dolphins brass, though.
“The Dolphins have certainly talked with him and they’re open to bringing him back, but I have not talked with anyone with the team who said they’re 100 percent certain they will not trade him,” Wolfe said on NFL Network’s The Insiders. “So unless we hear otherwise, that’s gonna be a lingering story. Do they continue to move forward with Tyreek Hill as a key part of their team, or do they try to move him and build elsewhere?”
There’s not much reason for the Dolphins to be in a rush to make a decision. While trading Hill sooner rather than later could provide them with a little extra capital in the 2025 NFL draft, waiting until the summer to deal the receiver is the way Miami could save $15 million in salary cap space.
Hill, who turns 31 in March, finished the 2024 season with 959 yards and six touchdowns. He also missed out on the Pro Bowl for the first time in his nine-year career.
