The Dolphins leader in the receiver room has garnered over 10,000 receiving yards and 76 touchdowns throughout his career. The deal is the second franchise historic deal to have taken place in training camp.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Dolphins, Tyreek Hill Agree to Massive Contract<\/h2>\n<h3>Looking at the Details<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reworked contract placed Hill as the highest-paid receiver in the NFL for the next four years. On top of his previous agreement with Miami, he\u2019ll be paid $106.5 million fully guaranteed through the time period of his contract. The amount makes Hill\u2019s deal the most added to a contract without adding new years in league history. The 30-year-old wide receiver originally was on a four-year, $120 million deal signed in 2022. He\u2019ll now be connected with the Dolphins through 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adding on to the historically big deal, Hill\u2019s contract is now the most guaranteed money given to a wide receiver in NFL history. This new deal comes in a summer where some of the league&#8217;s top receivers were <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballnetwork.com\/highest-paid-wide-receivers-in-nfl\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">paid heavily<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> over $200 million in extensions. Those receivers included Minnesota Vikings\u2019 Justin Jefferson, who signed a four-year, $140 million earlier this summer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The deal itself was negotiated by his agents Drew and Jason Rosenhaus. Drew has been active with the Dolphins organization to get a deal done throughout training camp, and the days leading into. Drew himself has represented many contract conversations for Miami players, including pass rusher Emmanuel Ogbah\u2019s short-term contract.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Insane 24 Hours for Hill<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only did Hill agree to a historic extension, but he was also announced as No. 1 in the 2024 NFL \u2018Top 100\u2019 list. The rankings were polled by his fellow NFL players across the league. The honor marks the first Dolphin to be named for the award and first wide receiver to claim the title.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hill led the NFL in almost all receiving numbers last season. The Cheetah had a league-high 1,799 receiving yards, tied-best 13 receiving touchdowns, averaged 15.1 yards per reception and caught 119 passes in 2023. All stats, excluding touchdowns, are career-high numbers for him.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Another Dolphins\u2019 Offensive Piece Locked in Long Term<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has been a busy summer for Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier. Hill\u2019s reworked deal will now lock in the speedster to Miami through 2026. This marks one of five other offensive core pieces to agree to a long-term relationship with the Dolphins. One of them was fellow wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, who agreed to a three-year, $84.75 million deal this summer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa agreed to a four-year, $212.4 million <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/07\/26\/dolphins-tagovailoa-agree-to-franchise-historic-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">extension<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> last week. The duo running backs Raheem Mostert (two-year, $9 million) and Alec Ingold (three-year, $17.2 million) make this list as well. Seemingly, every offensive player that was due for an extension on the roster got one. Hill and the rest of the offense will work now under a confirmed future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo: Sam Navorro &#8211; USA Today Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another Miami Dolphins\u2019 key offensive piece just inked a new deal.
