Tyreek Hill committed to the Dolphins during a frustrating season

MIAMI (AP) — Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill wants to stay with the team, he reiterated Wednesday, despite a frustrating start to the season and excitement on social media about a potential trade.

Hill recorded just four catches for 23 yards in Monday night's loss to the Tennessee Titans, giving him 87 receiving yards in the team's last three games. During the game, he was seen talking animatedly with an unknown person on the Dolphins sideline.

Hill did not comment after Monday's game amid some speculation about the viability of a trade back to the Kansas City Chiefs.

He spoke at his locker Wednesday after team practice and said he is committed to the Dolphins organization.

“I just focus on the here and now. We have a great team here and I want to be a part of it,” Hill said. “We have a great situation here, my family loves it, I enjoy it, the weather is great, the fans are great. So we have a beautiful situation here, man… We all know the NFL is a… business. Whatever happens, happens.

“I would love to be here in the future – I love being here.”

On Monday night, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel wasn't concerned that Hill appeared to be vocal about his frustration.

“I would expect him to be visibly upset with someone,” McDaniel said. “He’s a leader and wanted to do everything he could to make sure the outcome wasn’t like that. There are a lot of guys in the locker room challenging each other and we get a chance to see what we're made of.”

Hill and the Dolphins agreed to a restructured contract in August worth $90 million over the next three years, with $65 million guaranteed. Since arriving in Miami in 2022, Hill has led the NFL in receiving yards and has set career highs in consecutive seasons.

The five-time All-Pro has consistently ruled out any possibility of leaving Miami, dating back to last offseason when he expressed his desire to one day retire with the Dolphins.
