Following the news of this trade, it&#8217;s even more clear what the Miami Dolphins need to do with Tyreek Hill.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The reported trade sends Samuel to the Commanders for a fifth-round pick in this year&#8217;s NFL Draft. The Dolphins, meanwhile,\u00a0may have wanted\u00a0to move Hill if they could find a suitable return.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_4\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"external_HTML\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Clearly, a fifth-round draft pick will not be what the Dolphins are hoping for in exchange for Hill. Eating a large portion of his contract would help facilitate a trade, but it likely wouldn&#8217;t drop the compensation to a level Miami would want.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The\u00a0trade of Samuel\u00a0clearly shows the Dolphins that their best option would be to keep Hill this season and gauge the future in 2026.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Best option for the Miami Dolphins to move on from Tyreek Hill remains the 2025 trade deadline<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">We have said in the past that Miami moving on from Hill could make more sense\u00a0at the trade deadline\u00a0in the middle of next season. Teams who are closing in on a playoff spot may look at Hill as a needed piece to make an impact in the postseason.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_5\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The Dolphins and the veteran wide receiver would both know where the team stands by that point in the 2025 season, and if they are not in a playoff position, there would be no need to keep him around to just potentially release him in the 2026 offseason.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">For now, Miami needs to close the doors on Hill being moved this offseason and concentrate on building their roster and filling the holes at key positions. If a fifth-round draft pick is the best they can hope for, maybe a round sooner, the value of keeping Hill is clearly still higher than trading him for the Dolphins right now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not sure many saw that trade coming Washington Commanders WR Deebo Samuel | Brooke Sutton\/GettyImages The NFL world was rocked by breaking news on Saturday when it&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":30383,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
