Tyreek Hill wants to finish career with Dolphins

“I love Miami. I love every bit of it,” Hill said (h/t ProFootballTalk.com). “My wife loves it, the kids love it, my mom loves it, and it’s just a beautiful city to live in. There’s so much stuff to do. Obviously, I would like to retire in Miami, but we all know how the NFL is, how jobs go, and people getting promotions over here and we understand that. But Miami is a great city. I love the team I play on, love the guys in the locker room, love the head coach, love the GM. So that means sign me. I love all you guys so much, I want to stay in Miami forever, man. Keep me there.”

Hill’s “sign me” statement is especially telling considering the terms of his current pact. While the receiver is technically signed through the 2026 season, that $30M-per-year deal only contains guarantees through the 2024 season. That means negotiations on a reworked deal and/or an extension are surely coming, and a divorce will remain a possibility if the Dolphins refuse to meet Hill’s inevitable demands.

Hill now ranks third at his position in average annual salary (behind A.J. Brown and Amon-Ra St. Brown), so it’s not like the Dolphins would be eyeing a significant pay raise. The front office could simply proceed with the current terms of the contract, but there’s a chance Hill will push for some security beyond this upcoming campaign. The Dolphins will also have to consider an extension for Jaylen Waddle, who will be finishing up his rookie contract in 2025.

The Dolphins have been signaling that they intend to move forward with their two-headed monster at wide receiver. Odell Beckham Jr.‘s new contract is for only one season, and the Dolphins only committed to a pair of late-round receivers in the draft (Malik Washington and Tahj Washington). Both Hill and the Dolphins seemingly want to finish out the contract (or even add to it), but the eventual negotiations will likely reveal if that’s a real possibility.
