The Dolphins aren’t actively shopping Tyreek Hill but that doesn’t mean they’re not open to trading him. During a recent media session, Dolphins GM Chris Grier addressed the trade rumors surrounding the star wide receiver and left the door open for a potential blockbuster.
Dolphins Not Actively Shopping Tyreek Hill, But They’re Listening
When asked if they would trade Hill, Grier didn’t say no. Instead he gave a honest answer that told us what it would take for Miami to consider parting ways with their playmaker.
“That is not anything we’re pursuing,” Grier said via team transcript. “Like I said, who knows?”
He then elaborated and made it clear the Dolphins aren’t actively looking to trade Hill but would listen if a team came in with a crazy offer.
“If someone wants to come and give me two first round picks then we’d consider it,” Grier said. “But as of right now that’s not anything we’re pursuing.”
This answer is a reality in the NFL: almost any non QB can be traded if the price is right. And for Tyreek Hill it seems the magic number is two first round picks.
Why Is Tyreek Hill’s Future Even in Question?
The speculation started after the Dolphins finished their 2024 season 8-9. After the season ended, Hill dropped a bomb in postgame interviews.
“There’s a lot of things I need to re-evaluate about my career,” Hill said. “I just gotta do what’s best for me and my family, whether that’s here or wherever the case may be. I’m finna open that door for myself. … I’m out, bro.”
He’s since walked that back but the comments and some weird social media activity has kept the rumor mill churning. Fans and analysts are wondering if the Dolphins will trade him while he’s still playing at an elite level.
What Does This Mean for the Dolphins’ Plans?
For now, the Dolphins are happy to keep him on the roster. They’re already trading away another All-Pro in Jalen Ramsey so it’s unlikely they’d trade both in the same offseason. But this is the NFL – plans can change overnight.
If a team desperate for a game changing wideout comes calling with a crazy offer (like two first round picks) the Dolphins will answer the phone. Building through the draft is often a smarter long term strategy than relying on aging superstars.
But the Dolphins brass seems committed to keeping Hill around for the foreseeable future. Unless other teams get aggressive in their pursuit of him.
What Should Dolphins Fans Expect?
Here’s the bottom line: The Dolphins aren’t trading Tyreek Hill but they’re not ruling it out either. If a team comes calling with an offer they can’t refuse (think multiple high draft picks) the Dolphins will listen.
Until then, fans should expect to see Hill in aqua and orange next season. But nothing is set in stone in the NFL.
