That could be good news for the Cowboys.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking after the Dolphins\u2019 season ended in a disappointing loss on Sunday, Hill told reporters he wants out of Miami.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_1_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-1 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_1\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of things that I need to reassess about my career,\u201d\u00a0Hill told reporters. \u201cI just gotta do what\u2019s best for me and my family, whether that\u2019s here or wherever the case may be. I\u2019m finna open that door for myself. \u2026 I\u2019m out, bro. It was great playing here, but at the end of the day, I gotta do what\u2019s best for my career. I\u2019m too much of a competitor to be just out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Tyreek Hill Recruited by Micah Parsons<\/h2>\n<p>Hill is 30 and has made the Pro Bowl in his first eight seasons. But he is coming off a down season in which he caught\u00a081 passes for 959 yards. That is likely because of the injuries suffered by quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, but other factors\u2013like Hill\u2019s advancing age and defenses\u2019 adjustments to coach Mike McDaniel\u2019s offense\u2013may have been at fault, too.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Hill is one year removed from leading the NFL in yardage, at 1,799, and in touchdowns, at 13.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_2_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-2 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_2\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>And Parsons has taken notice. On Monday, he posted a\u00a0message on Twitter\/X to Hill, clearly recruiting Hill to seek a trade to the Cowboys. \u201c<span class=\"r-18u37iz\">@cheetah\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\">we can be the fastest duo in the league!!!\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\">\u00a0we also don\u2019t have state income taxes!<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cowboys Financial Issues Need Resolving<\/h2>\n<p>The obstacle to acquiring Hill, though, even if he wanted a trade to Dallas and even if Cowboys owner Jerry Jones were willing to make a deal for him, is his salary. Hill is entering the second year of a\u00a0three-year, $90 million extension, which will pay him more than $28 million next season.<\/p>\n<p>The third year of his contract is worth $52 million, but there is an out clause that would leave a dead-cap hit of more than $15 million.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_3_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-3 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_3\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>And, importantly, the Cowboys have very little salary-cap wiggle-room available. They could create some, coincidentally, if they tear up the fifth-year option on Parsons\u2019 contract and re-sign him to an extension that reduces his short-term payout.<\/p>\n<p>Parsons said on Sunday he would be open to structuring his contract to give the Cowboys flexibility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to hold anybody up,\u201d Parsons told reporters. \u201cI want to see some of these (free agents) back in this locker room. We have a great opportunity. I want to see change. I want to see players here. I want to be as aggressive as we can be.
