The Pittsburgh Steelers got a boost of confidence in their preseason opener as wide receivers Roman Wilson and Scotty Miller both delivered impressive performances. This strong showing from the receiver group is a positive sign, but the Steelers’ front office has not slowed down in exploring potential roster upgrades.
Their aggressive offseason approach has already brought notable talent to the team, and rumors now suggest they may be eyeing another high-profile addition Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill.
Steelers’ Aggressive Offseason Strategy Fuels Speculation Over Possible Tyreek Hill Pursuit
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, several NFL teams are monitoring the possibility of Hill becoming available via trade. While the Dolphins have publicly stated they have no plans to trade the veteran wideout, the uncertainty surrounding his future has piqued interest across the league.
Fowler noted that when speaking to executives about potential trade targets, Hill’s name consistently comes up. With his explosive speed and production, Hill remains a central figure in Miami’s offense, making any trade speculation a major talking point.
Tyreek Hill (NFL)The Steelers have already shown a willingness to pursue big-name players this offseason. Reports indicate they contacted the Washington Commanders about Terry McLaurin and made significant moves to acquire DK Metcalf and cornerback Jalen Ramsey.
This willingness to go big makes it plausible that Pittsburgh could be among the teams monitoring Hill’s situation. In fact, last offseason they reportedly considered trading for Hill, along with Metcalf and San Francisco’s Brandon Aiyuk.
Hill’s Elite Production and Contract Could Shape Steelers’ Bold Super Bowl Push
Hill, now 31, is coming off a season with 959 receiving yards and six touchdowns, following a stellar 2022 campaign where he led the league with 1,799 yards and 13 touchdowns. His current contract runs for two more years, with a hefty $27 million cap hit in 2025 and an even larger $51.8 million cap hit in 2026.
If needed, Miami could release him after the 2025 season with a $15.5 million dead cap penalty. These financial factors could influence whether the Dolphins consider moving him.
If the Steelers were to land Hill, he would immediately slot in as their starting receiver alongside Metcalf, with Calvin Austin III serving as WR3. Such a move would be a bold statement of intent, signaling that Pittsburgh is fully committed to contending for a Super Bowl this season with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback.
While it’s unclear how high Pittsburgh is on Hill’s list of possible destinations, their past interest and aggressive approach suggest that if the price is right, they could make a serious play for the Dolphins’ star.
