Teams are considering Dolphins' wide receiver Tyreek Hill as a potential trade prospect.
Miami Dolphins' Tyreek Hill Surrounded by Trade Rumors Amid Injury and Contract Concerns
Tyreek Hill, the Miami Dolphins' star wide receiver, finds himself at the centre of trade rumours as several teams express interest in acquiring him. Despite the Dolphins' public stance that they are not trading him, Hill's current injury and contractual obligations have sparked speculation [1][2][3].
Hill's production took a hit last season, and he underwent wrist surgery in February. His recent oblique injury, coupled with his age (31), may impact his value in potential trades [3][4]. The Dolphins have been cautious with Hill, keeping him out of practices and their preseason opener at the Chicago Bears [6].
Financial considerations also play a significant role. Hill is due a $15.9 million bonus at the end of August, and his contract includes substantial cap hits for future seasons. For instance, if traded, his cap hit would be $14.97 million in 2025 and $39.17 million in 2026 [3][5].
Several teams have reportedly expressed interest in Hill, including the Washington Commanders, Los Angeles Chargers, Las Vegas Raiders, Minnesota Vikings, and San Francisco 49ers [2][4][5]. The Vikings, in particular, are strong contenders due to their relationship with Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, who represents several Vikings players [4][5].
Despite these rumours, no trade has been finalized. Hill remains a key player for the Dolphins, and he has stated that he is focused and training hard for the team [7]. In his three seasons with Miami, Hill has caught 319 passes for 4,468 yards and 26 scores in 50 regular-season starts [8].
Throughout his career, Hill has been a reliable receiver. He has played in a total of 156 games (137 starts) across regular season and playoffs, catching at least one touchdown in 39 of those games [9]. Hill's playoff average per game is 69.4 receiving yards and 0.4 touchdowns [10].
Hill's illustrious career includes five All-Pro selections and eight Pro Bowl appearances. He was a key player in the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl win in the 2019 season, and he has 798 career regular-season receptions with 11,098 yards and 82 touchdowns (in 141 games, 123 starts) with the Chiefs and Dolphins [11].
As the 2025 season approaches, the Dolphins' handling of Hill's situation will be closely watched by other NFL teams. Hill's injury and recent statements have cast doubt on his future with the Dolphins, but for now, he remains a valuable asset for the team [1][2][3].
