There have been plenty of rumors surrounding a potential Tyreek Hill trade. With the Miami Dolphins star initially saying, “I’m out, bro.” after the 2024 season, then later refuting an idea of a trade, there is plenty of smoke surrounding Hill being traded.
In an article from Brent Sobleski of Bleacher Report, the Dolphins are predicted to land a haul for Hill in a trade. Sobleski predicts that the Dolphins will get back a second-round pick and a fourth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft for Hill.
“The Dolphins won’t get anywhere near what they originally sent to the Kansas City Chiefs for Hill (a first-round pick, a second-round pick, two fourth-round picks, and a sixth-round pick),” Sobleski wrote. “However, the chance to clear his contract and no longer have to worry about how invested he is from one day to the next could be a net positive.”
With Hill being 31 years old, a team acquiring Hill likely wouldn’t give up a first-rounder to get him. Hill is coming off a down year, where he had just 959 receiving yards, the lowest in his career since 2019, and 6 touchdowns, tied for the lowest in his career.

Hill is also under contract through the 2027 season, though a team would likely have to give him a new deal. His cap hit in 2026 is $51 million, while his 2027 cap hit is just $12 million. If traded, his new team would likely move some of that money around for cap relief.
A trade of Hill would leave the Dolphins with Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington, Nick Westbrook-Ikhene, and Dee Eskridge as the team’s leading receivers. Miami would have to add another wide receiver to the mix, though one not as great or expensive as Hill.
While the Dolphins will likely wait until after June 1st to consider moving off Hill for cap reasons, there is enough smoke surrounding a trade that moving Hill wouldn’t be out of the question.
Sobleski’s has the Dolphins netting two picks, neither of which is a first-rounder, in a projected Hill trade. While a second-round pick and fourth-round pick wouldn’t be a terrible return, the Dolphins won’t match what they sent to the Kansas City Chiefs for Hill in 2022.
