WR Tyreek Hill, MIA (3 Viewers)
- Thread starter amnesiac
- Start date
Looks like he's staying.
(TheHuddle) The Miami Dolphins have not received any phone calls from other NFL teams expressing interest in trading for WR Tyreek Hill and they have no plans to move him, according to multiple sources. Analysis: The 31-year-old Hill has been the subject of recent trade rumors. He had just four receptions for 40 yards in Week 1 versus the Indianapolis Colts, in what was a lackluster performance for the entire Miami offense. Despite the slow start, he should still be viewed as a low-end WR1 or high-end WR2 option in all fantasy leagues.

Don't think it will though. Not expecting her to cooperate with the NFL or press this further in the media as it would not benefit her or her child(ren)-don' know how many she has with Tyreek.
Still think he's a major trade candidate, but not now. More in a few weeks if the teams performance does not pick up.
Maybe it’s because no other team wants to trade for him.

I think the GM and coach probably know they are on the way out. Whatever minuscule chance they have at saving their jobs would decrease with Hill gone.
Every team wants to trade for him. They just don’t want his contract, to give up a high pick or the off field baggage. Miami has to bend hard on 2 of those 3 and really only 2 of those are flexible so…
I think this is the main thing. We can all assume the Dolphins are toast, terrible, imploding by the day but it's a situation were people are fighting for jobs and the team trying to right the ship. I'm sure players in that lockeroom still think they can win and you go ahead and bail now it's like pulling the plug on all of it. It's not like he's going to get some kind of huge return anyway and that lingering NFL investigation hanging over his head does not help.
I think he's going to get traded eventually but we are multiple weeks away, maybe as much as 8'ish. A lot of things should change to make moving him easier. The team actually losing games, resolution on the NFL investigation or some kind of all-clear signal from the league and lastly after this week his remaining salary commitment to any team acquiring him is $8.82M and this drops about $588K every week. Get this thing down to near the deadline and the commitment to him is just over $5m and you can walk away after the season.

No, but they should.

They should, just like we should ensure all humans have food. But they will not, because there are individuals in charge who have an interest in continuing to better themselves financially.No, but they should.

Tyreek's contract after further review is virtually untradeable for the Fins unless Grier does not give a crap anymore. His cap number will destroy us thru 2028.
He is going nowhere. The Dolphins will have to eat so much/too much money.....not doable.

I always try to stay optimistic but this situation scares me. Lets be honest - he is a hot mess. Visibly upset on the field. If I'm a contender I'd hold and just pray he doesn't do anything stupid, on or off the field. If I'm not contending in a dynasty/keeper league I'm 100% trading him.
Best case for Hill is he goes back to KC but why would they want to eat that contract. Right now the rumours are no team has even inquired about Hill - that is a lot to take on.

Fins can get out after next year (2026).

I guess my point was they would kill themselves if they traded him this season. Trades are not happening.
It will be a release not a trade where we save tons of money. It will happen in March.
Way to go Grier....genius at work.
Big Nate

It is true, it would cost them a fortune to trade him, Even next year I think it is like a $16M dead cap hit. Question is, would it be better to just get rid of the headache and eat the money for next year? I think they are screwed this year with his contract and situation as a team would have to eat the 2026 contract too.
Looks like he will cost $50M against the cap in 2026 - so they can get out from him after 2026.
Maybe the Fins were smart and put in a clause if he does something stupid off field they can get out from the contract.

Footballguy
Yeah no one is taking him on.....and everyone knows he will be released March 2026.
Tua will also be released after the 2026 season.....looking at his contract......we are locked into this turd for this season and next season. If he is cut post June 1st we eat 62.4 million and can spread that over two years at 31.2MM per.....ouch.
Any new GM is going to have their hands cuffed till after 2026.
Once we release Tua Turd June 1st 2027 we save 45MM and have a dead cap number of 8.4MM spread over two years.
As Dolphin fans....we will have to endure this dumpster fire in 2025 and 2026.......we will have the highest paid back up QB in 2026 because any new regime is gonna not hang their fate on Tua Turd.
2027 is when a lot of things will be in motion.........anyway here we go again.

I like this attitude. Who knows what actually happens if they keep losing, but this is what you wanna hear.
Very winnable schedule over the next month. They should be disappointed if they can't get back to 3-4 after the next month.

According to Spotrac, you are way offbase with this assessment:
POST-6/1 TRADE
2025 Dead Cap: $12,728,7502026 Dead Cap: $15,568,750
2025 Savings: $14,970,000
2026 Savings: $51,898,750 (less any dead cap)
The above is assuming the trade partner takes on his entire contract and the Dolphins don't absorb part of it. This is also as of prior to week 1, so these figures would be prorated for the number of games he plays and the Dolphins pay him for in 2025.
That said, based on the above, by trading him in 2025, they'd save $15 MM in cap this year, and could roll that over toward 2026 to offset the $15 MM in dead cap next, making a trade a net neutral cap move for them in 2025. They wouldn't free up any new money this year, BUT...
In 2026, they would offload a whopping $52 MM in cap allocation to the Freak.

Hill has an open NFL investigation that is going to be ongoing for a while since he's filed for divorce and a lot has been revealed publicly in those divorce papers
I don't see any team wanting to bring him in right away this season.
I think that's also why Hill isn't demanding a trade, he knows he needs to just take his game checks right now, he won't get paid more at the next stop
He would be wise to try and stay in Miami for as long as possible right now

This tweet is trash.
Tyreek Hill is guaranteed $30+ million next year. Somebody is paying that.
LawFitz
Footballguy
Not true according to Spotrac...
- $54M guaranteed at signing (signing bonus + 2024 compensation + 2025 compensation)
- $11M of 2026 salary fully guarantees the 3rd league day of 2026
- 2026 Roster Bonus: $5M (3rd league day of 2026)

His skills have never been questioned. It's everything between his ears.
No one is trading for him this season. No one is taking on that money. Any team that does are taking a huge off the field risk.
KC is certainly never trading for Tyreek Hill.
And we are stuck with Tua thru 2026.......which is horrific news.
If KC loses this week @NYG, there's a good chance they lose vs BAL in game 4.
I doubt if they trade for Hill, their offense will improve when Rice returns for game 6.
But Kelce wants to go out a winner, and Hill would be a great addition. Aside from the 2nd half of game 17 last year, Hill has been a trooper on the field, playing through injury and giving it his all. Interest in Hill will pick up if the NFL investigation leads to no punishment.

Really depends on how motivated he is. With his career earnings, several rings in the bag and a stat sheet good enough to be in consideration for the HoF you'd think he'd be OK letting his career slide away at this point.
But these guys brains and bodies just aren't like us normal pups.

It's a major bummer. Injuries like this suck and to top it off could end his career. Most athletes hate to see their career end on injury and want to be able to walk off the field. In this case injury seems so bad + his age it may not be worth it to try to come back so guess we'll have to see

I don't know about that.
He has earned $147mil playing football though. I think he'll be quite content with those figures regardless of the ongoing burn.

It sucks for him, but am I wrong for having less sympathy for someone like Hill??

If that is the case Hill is toast. Seemed like when Hill was being carted off with a mangled leg he was in shock, because he was laughing and clapping like it did not happen. I doubt he was laughing when he got into the locker room.
Dude should have stayed in KC with Mahomes. so many of his big plays came when Mahomes broke out of the pocket and they were just free-wheeling.

He's gonna have to play until retirement age (72?) to pay for all those kids and exes.

The bolded is exactly what I thought too! I said he's gotta be in shock. Most guys would have been in tears. Maybe he was and it just looked like sweat. I'm not a fan of his, but it's always rough to watch these guys go out due to horrible injuries.
>>Hill is due to make $29.9 million next season, but none of that money is guaranteed until March, when $11 million of the $29 million becomes guaranteed if he’s on the team, as well as a $5 million roster bonus.
Because that contract carries a $51.9 million cap hit, there was virtually no chance that he would have returned without a restructure – even before the injury.
If the Dolphins cut Hill before the $11 million becomes guaranteed in March, they would have a $15.5 million dead money cap hit for 2026. That seems the likely course.<<

I was never a fan of Hill due to the off field stuff. But no doubt the guy was insanely talented and unreal to watch play. Horrible injury and hate to see it. That might be it for his career. I guess we wait to see the final prognosis but this sounds like, at minimum, a 1 year recovery. I would find it hard to believe he is close to 100% to start next year.

It's called karma.
It's bound to get ya!
I have no sympathy. He's loaded.. He'll be fine after surgery and rehab. I don't see Hill at his age,as someone that will push himself to make it back to playing.
With that kind of knee injury,Its going to take a looooong time for him to just walk normal again.
I've never seen a knee twist like it did.
I feel terrible for him because other then obvious money and possibly end of his career when he has a whole lot of kids to support is bad enough but I feel like his whole identity is his speed and rare athleticism and it's likely gone in an instant.
Not at all into some of these karma of off the field takes some of you have. What exactly has he done? And I don't mean accused, but what do you know that he actually did wrong other then sleep with a bunch of women and put out a litter of kids? We got one thing, the abuse of his girl in college, that's huge, but even that may not be true once more details came out about her after their kids broke arm. If someone wants to refute this hit me up with facts of what he's been convicted, plead or settled. Not accused by people seeking financial gain on him. He's got massive amount of drama around him, looks a certain way, but what has he actually done wrong?

If that was it for Hill on the field, that was an impressive career to succeed at his height. I enjoyed watching him play.
As far as off the field, don't support that kind of stuff but at the same time, you don't play the nicest guys on the field, you play the best.

He's one of the most fun, exciting, electric players I've ever watched. I've won multiple fantasy championships with him over the years.
You have to think this is it for his fantasy relevance. He may work his way back and such. But it's hard to imagine you have all of this go wrong after age 30 and ever perform at the same level.
