Bygones appear to be bygones for the Miami Dolphins and wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Sunday that the Dolphins “do not plan to trade” Hill this offseason (three-minute mark).
“It’s early, it’s always possible somebody makes the type of offer they can’t refuse, but it sounds like right now everything is tracking toward the Cheetah staying in South Beach,” he added.
While Hill is signed through the 2026 season, his future with Miami quickly became a topic after the season-ending loss to the New York Jets when he told reporters (2:25 mark), “I’m out. It was great playing here, but at the end of the day, I gotta do what’s best for my career, because I’m too much of a competitor to be just out there.”

However, the tone was quite different this week during multiple media appearances ahead of the Super Bowl when Hill apologized to his teammates for the comments and said he took “full accountability” for his actions:

Tyreek Hill on @ProFootballTalk: “I’m taking full accountability for what I said. I’m gonna come back next year. I wanna stay with the Dolphins.”
Both head coach Mike McDaniel and general manager Chris Grier previously said they met with Hill as well, which seemed to clear the path for him to stay with the Dolphins.
That is welcome news to Miami’s chances at being competitive in 2025, as the eight-time Pro Bowler and five-time All-Pro First-Team selection is not that far removed from his dominant 2023 season that saw him lead the league in both receiving yards (1,799) and touchdown catches (13).
His 2024 campaign wasn’t as effective with 959 receiving yards and six touchdown catches, but quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was also limited to 11 games after playing all 17 in 2023.
Perhaps they can both remain healthy and lead the Dolphins to the playoffs in 2025.
