Tyreek Hill Committed to Miami Dolphins, Agent Says
Tyreek Hill, the star wide receiver of the Miami Dolphins, is committed to the team, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. This comes after Hill seemed to indicate otherwise last week, expressing frustration with not making the playoffs for the first time in his career.
Rosenhaus: Hill’s Comments Were Out of Frustration
Rosenhaus appeared on ESPN’s "The Pat McAfee Show" on Thursday, where he described Hill as "very passionate" and said his comments were out of frustration with not making the playoffs. "What you see with Tyreek is very genuine," Rosenhaus said. "He wants to win. It’s not good enough for him not to make the playoffs. He is very passionate. I think at the end of the day, he is committed to this Dolphins football team."
Hill Played Through Broken Wrist
Rosenhaus also revealed that Hill played through a broken wrist for the entire season. The injury occurred in training camp during a scrimmage against Washington, and doctors recommended season-ending surgery. However, Hill declined the surgery, choosing to play through the pain. "The doctors all said: ‘It’s going to be painful. It could impact your entire career. If you don’t get it done now, you may not be able to fix it all the way,’" Rosenhaus said. "Tyreek said: ‘Hey, to heck with it. I’m a team guy, I’m going for it.’"
Productive Season, Despite Injuries
Hill had one of the least productive seasons of his nine-year career in 2024. His 959 yards were his fewest since injuries limited him to 860 yards in 12 games with Kansas City in 2019. His 81 catches were also his fewest since he had 58 that season.
Frustration After Week 18 Loss
After catching two passes on three targets for 20 yards in a Week 18 loss to the Jets, a frustrated Hill hinted at a potential split from the team. "I’m out, bro. It was great playing here," Hill said. "But at the end of the day, I’ve got to do what’s best for my career. … I’m too much of a competitor to be just out there."
Coach and GM Downplay Hill’s Comments
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel downplayed Hill’s comments as an emotional reaction to a disappointing season. The two had an hour-long conversation to "clear the air" the next day, and McDaniel told Hill it was unacceptable for him to leave the game. General manager Chris Grier also confirmed that Hill never formally asked for a trade.
Conclusion
Despite Hill’s comments, it appears that he is committed to the Miami Dolphins. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has reiterated that Hill is "very passionate" and wants to win, and that his comments were simply a reaction to the team not making the playoffs. With Hill set to return next season, the Dolphins will be looking to build on a disappointing 2024 campaign.
