Tyreek Hill, wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins, reaffirmed his commitment to the team on Wednesday despite a rocky start to the season and social media speculation about a potential trade. Hill’s reaffirmation came after a frustrating performance in Monday night’s loss to the Tennessee Titans, where he recorded only four catches for 23 yards.
This recent game contributed to a stretch where Hill has managed just 87 receiving yards over the last three games. During the game, Hill was seen animatedly speaking to someone on the Dolphins’ sideline, fueling some trade rumors.
After Monday’s game, Hill did not immediately speak to the media, which led to increased speculation, particularly about the possibility of him returning to his former team, the Kansas City Chiefs.
However, on Wednesday, Hill addressed the media and clarified his desire to remain with the Dolphins, stating he is fully committed to the team. He emphasized that he enjoys his current situation in Miami, citing the positive environment, his family’s happiness, and the support from fans as key reasons for wanting to stay.
Hill acknowledged the business side of the NFL but expressed his desire to remain a part of the Dolphins organization moving forward. He mentioned that despite whatever may happen in the future, his focus is on contributing to the team and enjoying his time in Miami. His comments seemed aimed at putting any trade rumors to rest and reinforcing his intention to stay with the team.
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel was not concerned by Hill’s visible frustration during the game. He explained that as a leader, Hill is expected to express his emotions and challenge his teammates in moments of adversity. McDaniel recognized Hill’s competitive nature and desire to help the team avoid defeat, interpreting his actions on the sidelines as a sign of his leadership rather than a problem.
In August, Hill and the Dolphins agreed to a restructured three-year contract worth $90 million, with $65 million guaranteed. Since joining the Dolphins in 2022, Hill has been highly productive, leading the NFL in receiving yards and setting personal career highs in back-to-back seasons. Hill has consistently shut down trade rumors, including in the past offseason, where he reiterated his desire to finish his career with the Dolphins.
