Dolphins Star Tyreek Hill Reveals True Feelings on Trade Rumors

Trade rumors are heating up in the wide receiver market in Week 5. The Las Vegas Raiders appear to be at an impasse with Davante Adams, and the three-time All-Pro wants out of his situation in the desert.

On Wednesday, Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill was the subject of trade rumors after he posted multiple cryptic messages on X.

“Woke up to trade news exciting,” Hill posted.

Hill later wrote that he “enjoyed trolling” the “nut cases” on X.

One of a trio of cryptic troll posts on Wednesday was in response to a message by Joe Schad. The Palm Beach Post reporter wrote that Hill said he wanted to be with the Dolphins when asked about the Kansas City Chiefs.

Hill is trying to be funny at a time when many in the Dolphins’ locker room have nothing to laugh about. The team has dropped three consecutive games since Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion that has the team’s leader on injured reserve.

ESPN cameras caught Hill showing visible signs of frustration during the Dolphins’ 31-12 loss to the Tennessee Titans on “Monday Night Football” in Week 4. After the game, coach Mike McDaniel appeared to call out the six-time All-Pro for his multiple illegal shift penalties.

If Hill wants out of Miami, the wide receiver wouldn’t tell the press so with a straight face on Wednesday.

“I’m just focused on right here and right now,” Hill said via video on the Dolphins’ YouTube channel. “We’ve got a beautiful team here, and I want to be a part of it. We’ve got a great situation here. My family loves it. I enjoy it. The weather’s great. The fans are great. We’ve got a beautiful situation here, man.

“Obviously, my parents always taught me control the controllables. I only can control so much. With that being said, we all know the NFL is a business. Whatever happens, happens. Moving forward, I would love to be here. I love being here. I love the guys. I love my locker mates.”

Hill had a fast start to the season in Week 1 when he caught seven passes for 130 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins’ Week 1 comeback win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Hill has not been as productive since Tagovailoa has been off the field. The former fifth-round pick by the Chiefs has caught 10 passes for 87 yards and zero touchdowns in the Dolphins’ previous three games.

With Tagovailoa on injured reserve for at least the next two games, the Dolphins could be 1-5 before they get their starting quarterback on the field. Miami has a tough road to make the playoffs, whether Hill is on the team or not.

The 1-3 Dolphins will travel to play the 1-3 New England Patriots on Sunday. Quarterback Tyler Huntley is set to make his second consecutive start for Miami.
