The 2024 season did not go as planned for the Miami Dolphins. In 2023, the team went 11-6 and made the playoffs. Despite losing in the wild card round to the Chiefs, the Dolphins felt confident about the team heading into 2024. Starting QB Tua Tagovailoa was placed on IR due to a concussion early in 2024.
With this, the Dolphins started the season 2-6 and failed to advance to the playoffs. Miami finished the season at 8-9 after losing 32-20 to the Jets in Week 18. It was the first time since 2019 that the team failed to finish with a winning record. Speaking to the media after Sunday’s loss, Tyreek Hill made some interesting comments. Hill essentially told the Dolphins that he wanted to be traded. Will Hill be traded this offseason, or can the Dolphins fix their problems with an All-Pro WR?

Following the 2021 season, the Chiefs traded WR Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins. In return, the Chiefs received a first-round pick, a second-round pick, two fourth-round picks and a sixth-round pick. In acquiring Hill, the team signed a $120 million contract that reset the WR market at the time. Hill has 119 catches for 1,710 yards and seven touchdowns in 2022. The following season, Hill had his best statistical season as a professional. In 2023, Hill had 119 catches and led the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards and 13 receiving touchdowns. It was his second season earning first-team All-Pro honors.
Despite Hill’s success in his first two seasons, the team failed to make the playoffs. There was something familiar to him in Kansas City. Injuries to the 2024 team set the Dolphins back a bit. Hill had under 1,000 receiving yards for the first time since 2019. Additionally, his six receiving touchdowns marked the lowest of his career since his rookie season. After the Dolphins’ Week 18 loss, Hill wasn’t happy with his interactions with the media. The All-Pro said he wants to “get out” of Miami. Let’s take a look at what teams can do to keep their star WRs happy this offseason. Hill is Miami’s best offensive player and the team without him is a different team.
