As the offseason unfolds, Tyreek Hill has once again captured the spotlight, not for his electrifying on-field performances, but for trade chatter that has reignited following the end of the Dolphins’ season. Just months after seemingly reaching a consensus with head coach Mike McDaniel and the Dolphins, it appears Hill is stirring up the rumor mill once more regarding a potential change of scenery.
The prospect of Hill being on the trading block raises some intriguing possibilities—especially if you look toward the NFC, where teams like the Dallas Cowboys are in dire need of offensive weaponry. If anyone embodies the idea of a game-changing talent, it’s Hill, and pairing him with CeeDee Lamb could be the kind of duo that terrifies defensive coordinators across the league.
Jerry Jones has spent years expressing his desire to build a team primed for a Super Bowl run, making his infamously bold “all in” proclamations along the way. Yet, despite those intentions, he hasn’t sealed the deal on a high-profile acquisition that could push the Cowboys into true contender status. Landing Hill would undoubtedly classify as that significant splash.
Despite any concerns about Hill potentially losing a step, his ability to transform a game remains intact. His speed and playmaking skills—coupled with Lamb’s emerging stardom—would create mismatches that would keep defensive backs up at night.
On the financial front, the Cowboys could strategically navigate this deal. Hill carries a hefty $27.7 million cap hit for the 2025 season, but with a restructuring, that figure could drop by seven million. With ample cap space at $34.6 million, Dallas has the flexibility to make this work. Moreover, Hill’s contract features an out before the 2026 season, allowing the Cowboys to sidestep a daunting $51.9 million hit should they decide to move on after just one year.
Thus, a trade for Hill could amount to a one-year rental while positioning the Cowboys to bolster their contention chances. Giving up a couple of day two draft picks, as some analysts have suggested, may be a small price to pay for the potential to ignite Dallas’s offense and bolster their position as genuine threats in the NFC for the upcoming season. For the Cowboys, it’s time to take decisive action, and Tyreek Hill could be the catalyst they need.
