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.
“What y’all had heard at the end of the season was frustration,” Hill said to his viewers in an expletive-filled rant this week while live-streaming a video game, according to ESPN. “I’ve been winning my whole life, bruh. Y’all don’t understand, I bust my ass every day. I deserve to feel like that; I deserve to have some kind of opinion.
“Y’all just want me to say, ‘Oh well, get ’em next year?’ Nah, f–k that. We’ve got to come back. We got to put some pressure on motherf—–s. Y’all got to fix this s–t, come on. Add some motherf—ing dogs in this b—-. I compete, I love to compete, bruh.”
The 30-year-old Hill had said following Miami’s season-ending loss to the Jets that he was “out, bruh” after three seasons with the Dolph, before adding “it was great playing here, but at the end of the day, I have to do what’s best for my career.”
Hill, an eight-time Pro Bowler with the Chiefs and Dolphins, also had said he’d do what’s best for his family, whether that’s in Miami “or wherever the case may be.”
Dolphins GM Chris Grier told reporters soon after the season ended that Hill — who is signed through 2026 — didn’t request a trade.
The player’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, then said on “The Pat McAfee Show” that he believed Hill was still “committed” to the Dolphins.
“What you see with Tyreek, it’s very genuine. He wants to win. It’s not good enough for him not to make the playoffs,” Rosenhaus said. “I think at the end of the day, he’s committed to this Dolphins football team. I believe Tyreek is a great asset to the Dolphins, and I think he’s the last guy people should be worried about in this organization. They have many more worries; Tyreek Hill’s not one of them.”
Hill totaled only 954 receiving yards on 81 receptions in 17 games this season, after leading the NFL with 3,509 yards through the air with 20 touchdown catches during his first two seasons with the Dolphins.
