Tyreek Hill made waves at the end of the Miami Dolphins season when he essentially alluded to playing his last game with the franchise, saying he's going to "open that door" and that he's "out." Hill did not directly ask for a trade at that moment,

Miami’s star wide receiver finally offered an explanation as to why he lashed out the way he did after the Dolphins’ final game of the 2024 season.

Tyreek Hill explained that his 'I'm out' comment, perceived by many as a sign he wanted out of Miami, was meant as a wake-up call to the Dolphins front office.

Perhaps Tyreek Hill hopes to keep his talents in South Beach after all. The Dolphins wide receiver has chalked up his recent comments about wanting a change of scenery to frustration over not participating in the postseason for the only time in his nine-year NFL career.

Tyreek Hill says he deserves to feel frustrated after the Dolphins’ 8-9 season and had to “put pressure” on the team.

Hill is guaranteed $27.6 million this upcoming season. If the Dolphins trade him, Miami would carry a $28.3 million 2025 dead money cap hit if he’s traded before June 1 and a $12.7 million dead money 2025 cap hit if he’s traded after June 1.

Tyreek Hill attempted to clear the air about his postseason comments, concluding that the Dolphins need to add some "dawgs" to the roster.

The Dolphins ended 2024 with an 8-9 record and missed the playoffs for the first time since acquiring Hill from the Chiefs in a March 2022 trade. Hill pulled himself from Miami's regular-season finale loss at the Jets in the second half when it became apparent the Dolphins wouldn't make the playoffs.
