Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is on track to retire a lot sooner than fans expected.
During an appearance on the “Totally Offensive” podcast, Hill was asked how much longer he’ll play in the NFL. He admit that he plans on retiring once his contract with Miami expires.
“I’m gonna finish out this contract with the Dolphins and then I’m gonna call it quits,” Hill said. “I want to go into the business side. I want to do so many things in my life, bro.”
Hill’s contract with the Dolphins runs through the 2025 season.
Surprisingly, most fans support Hill’s decision to walk away from the game on his terms.
Good for him. A lot of players should take this route. Make your money & TRY to leave with some sanity. https://t.co/2da9gPxp8g

Hill is one of the most explosive players to ever step foot on the gridiron. He currently has 598 career receptions for 8,340 yards and 63 touchdowns.
If Hill can continue to produce at an elite level until the day he retires, it’s very possible he gets inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
