Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has social media buzzing after hinting at his next NFL team with some fascinating social media activity.
The 2024 season has been a disappointment for Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins, whose playoff hopes were essentially lost when quarterback Tua Tagovailoa missed time due to a concussion. Naturally, Miami’s frustrating campaign has led to speculation about Hill potentially getting traded.
Last year, Hill led the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards and 13 touchdown receptions. But through Miami’s first 15 games, the 30-year-old has only 70 catches for 834 yards and six touchdowns.
Well, Tyreek Hill has only fueled the trade speculation by dropping an interesting hint on his next team. On his Snapchat page, Hill shared a post from the ML Football X/Twitter account about the Los Angeles Chargers being the co-favorites to acquire him via trade:
The Chargers (9-6) are on the verge of clinching just their second playoff spot since 2019. That said, they could certainly use more pass-catchers to complement rookie Ladd McConkey, who’s carried the passing game with 69 receptions for 960 yards and five touchdowns.
Miami gave up significant draft capital to acquire Tyreek Hill in a 2022 trade with the Kansas City Chiefs, and he recently agreed to a new deal worth $90 million in the offseason. So it would take a mammoth offer from a rival team to acquire the future Hall of Famer via trade.
Dolphins Should Keep Tyreek Hill
The Miami Dolphins would likely be a playoff team if Tagovailoa didn’t miss four games to injury. His 38-24-0 record as a starting quarterback speaks for itself, after all.
So Miami’s best bet is to run it back with this core and hope for better health regarding key players like Tagovailoa and star pass rushers in Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb. Hill is still a game-changer at the age of 30, and the Dolphins still have every reason to believe they can compete for a playoff spot in 2025.
