Teams are ready to pounce if Tyreek Hill becomes available.
The Dolphins have not indicated they want to trade the star receiver, but teams are keeping an eye on the situation, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported.
“I have talked to a few teams who are at least monitoring his future a little bit,” Fowler said on ESPN’s SportsCenter. “Could he be a potential trade target? Now, I know the Dolphins earlier this summer were telling teams, ‘No, we’re not trading Tyreek Hill.’ But they just wonder, is he going to be available? It could be wishful thinking, maybe they want him to be available. But he’s a player, when I bring up to teams, ‘Hey, who is sort of a trade target you’re watching?’ — they bring up Tyreek Hill. So, we’ll see. He’s a big option for Tua [Tagovailoa], that would be a major move if they did move away from him.”
Hill’s had a rocky few months with the Dolphins.
After their season-ending loss to the Jets in Week 17 last season, Hill publicly stated that he no longer wanted to be with the Dolphins.
“I’m out, bro,” Hill said. “It was great playing here, but at the end of the day, I gotta do what’s best for my career because I’m too much of a competitor to be just out there.”
Later, he posted what appeared to be a goodbye message on X.
“Love fin nation blessing yall opened doors for the Hill family forever nothing, but respect and love,” Hill wrote.
But Hill has since apologized to Tagovailoa and the team.
He is entering his fourth season with the Dolphins after spending the first six seasons of his career with the Chiefs.
He struggled through a down year last season, recording 81 receptions for 959 yards and six touchdowns.
