Tyreek Hill, the wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins, has expressed his commitment to the team despite a challenging start to the season and swirling trade rumors. Hill’s performance in Monday night’s game against the Tennessee Titans was underwhelming, with just four receptions for 23 yards, bringing his total to 87 receiving yards over the last three games. His animated discussions on the sideline during the game sparked speculation about a potential trade back to the Kansas City Chiefs, but Hill did not address the media after the game.
Speaking after practice on Wednesday, Hill reaffirmed his desire to stay with the Dolphins. “I’m just focused on right here and right now. We’ve got a beautiful team here and I want to be a part of it,” he stated. Hill emphasized his satisfaction with his current situation, mentioning how much he enjoys life in Miami and the support from fans.
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel brushed off the concerns regarding Hill’s visible frustration during the game, noting that it reflects Hill’s competitive nature as a leader. “I would expect him to be visibly upset at somebody… He’s a leader and he wanted to do everything that he could to make sure the result wasn’t that,” McDaniel explained.
Hill’s commitment to the Dolphins was solidified when he signed a restructured contract in August worth $90 million over three years, with $65 million guaranteed. Since joining the Dolphins in 2022, Hill has led the NFL in receiving yards and achieved career highs in consecutive seasons. He has maintained a desire to remain with the team, even expressing a wish to retire in Miami.
