If the Miami Dolphins are entertaining the idea of trading their electrifying wide receiver Tyreek Hill, there’s a team in the AFC that might just want to roll out the red carpet for him: the Pittsburgh Steelers. Speculation kicked off when Hill dropped a casual, “I’m out, bro,” after the Dolphins wrapped up their 2024 season with a loss to the New York Jets. While there’s been no official trade request—at least not publicly—the possibility lingers, especially if a deal too tempting to pass up lands on Miami’s doorstep.
With the receiver now 31 years old, the Dolphins might find his market value peaking despite coming off a less-than-stellar season. Hill posted 81 catches for 959 yards and six touchdowns—a notable dip from his 2023 performance of 119 catches, 1,799 yards, and 13 touchdowns. Timing is crucial, and sometimes, moving a player before their value dips further is just smart business.
The Steelers could be a perfect fit for Hill, especially now with Aaron Rodgers locked in as their quarterback. They’ve already made noise in the receiver market, snagging D.K.
Metcalf from the Seahawks and sending George Pickens to the Cowboys. Toss Hill into the mix with a healthy Metcalf, and Pittsburgh’s offense suddenly sports some serious firepower—enough to make teams like the Kansas City Chiefs take notice.
So, what might it take for Pittsburgh to bring Hill on board? Considering Hill’s age and contract, expecting a first-rounder from Miami might be unrealistic.
A more balanced offer could be a 2026 second-round pick, bolstered by a conditional fourth-rounder that might elevate to a third. The Steelers have some flexibility, having gained an extra third-rounder from the Pickens trade.
For Pittsburgh, the gamble could be worth it. Rodgers isn’t getting younger, and with the pieces they’ve assembled, adding a top-tier playmaker like Hill could edge them closer to another Super Bowl run. As Steelers fans gear up for what promises to be an exciting season, the potential of seeing Hill in the black and gold adds another layer of intrigue to their championship aspirations.
