Originally acquired in the 2022 offseason, Hill helped turn first-round pick <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/09\/18\/tua-tagovailoa-could-join-list-of-early-nfl-retirements-due-to-concussions\/\" target=\"_self\">Tua Tagovailoa into the future of the Miami Dolphins<\/a>, but his off-field antics combined with a drop in productivity may lead to an early departure. Rumors of Hill&#8217;s unhappiness occurred throughout the season but reached a boiling point when he <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/recap\/_\/gameId\/401671833\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">took himself out of the regular season finale<\/a> and demanded a trade following their season-ending loss.<\/p>\n<p>While Hill has since apologized for his comments and appears content to return to Miami, the feeling may not be mutual. While a trade isn&#8217;t imminent, NFL.com&#8217;s Cameron Wolfe recently noted the Dolphins are listening to trade offers for Tyreek Hill and &#8220;are not 100% certain&#8221; they won&#8217;t send him off during the offseason.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Dolphins not expected to put the franchise tag on safety Jev\u00f3n Holland putting him on track to test free agency as top player at his position, barring any surprises.<\/p>\n<p>For <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nflnetwork?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@nflnetwork<\/a> The Insiders nuggets on Holland, Terron Armstead, Tyreek Hill &amp; interesting <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Dolphins?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#Dolphins<\/a> offseason: <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OzsosJfg7t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/OzsosJfg7t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Cameron Wolfe (@CameronWolfe) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CameronWolfe\/status\/1892019377794375878?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">February 19, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>Report: Dolphins Still Considering A Tyreek Hill Trade<\/h2>\n<p>The Dolphins knew Tyreek Hill came with off-field headaches when they decided to trade for him three years ago. However, at the time, Hill was arguably the game&#8217;s most dangerous wide receiver, and his on-field play easily justified the off-field distractions. However, that might not be the case anymore. While he&#8217;s still a good football player, he finished the 2024 season with just 81 receptions for 959 yards and six touchdowns and missed the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n<p>A borderline 1,000-yard receiver is still a valuable weapon in today&#8217;s NFL, but the Dolphins won&#8217;t hesitate to trade Tyreek Hill if someone makes a big enough offer. With <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/09\/13\/jaylen-waddle-fantasy-football-outlook-after-tua-tagovailoa-injury\/\" target=\"_self\">former first-round pick Jaylen Waddle<\/a> capable of being a legitimate WR1, Miami could send the one-time Super Bowl champion to a new home. In no particular order, the following three teams make the most sense as a potential destination.<\/p>\n<h3>Possible Destinations<\/h3>\n<h4>Kansas City Chiefs<\/h4>\n<p>If any team knows how to deal with Tryeek Hill, it&#8217;s the Kansas City Chiefs. While he had his best numbers with Miami, Hill originally established himself as one of the league&#8217;s premier talents under <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/10\/17\/andy-reid-wide-receiver-trade-diontae-johnson-christian-kirk\/\" target=\"_self\">head coach Andy Reid<\/a>. While they ultimately sent Hill to the Miami Dolphins, the wide receiver didn&#8217;t burn any bridges on his way out of town. The Chiefs have a promising young speedster in first-round pick Xavier Worthy, but they could use a proven veteran like Hill given the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/08\/29\/nfl-spokesman-addresses-chiefs-rashee-rice-suspension\/\" target=\"_self\">uncertainty surrounding Rashee Rice<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Washington Commanders<\/h4>\n<p>The Washington Commanders made it to the NFC Championship Game with a rookie quarterback, a first-year head coach, and a roster that went 4-13 one year earlier. The sky is the limit for this organization, and the time is now to go all-in on the future. Terry McLaurin is still a great wide receiver, but he can&#8217;t carry the entire passing offense by himself. The Dolphins would probably prefer to trade Tyreek Hill to an NFC team like the Commanders, and the veteran could give <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/01\/17\/jayden-daniels-commanders-quarterback-dynasty-outlook\/\" target=\"_self\">budding superstar Jayden Daniels<\/a> one of the best receiver duos in football.<\/p>\n<h4>Carolina Panthers<\/h4>\n<p>The Carolina Panthers should focus most of their resources on the defensive side of the ball, but they shouldn&#8217;t completely ignore the offense. While <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/01\/16\/2024-nfl-draft-profile-xavier-legette\/\" target=\"_self\">youngsters Xavier Legette<\/a>, Jalen Coker, and tight end Ja&#8217;Tavion Sanders all showed promise as rookies, none of them are guaranteed superstars. With Adam Thielen slowing down, Hill could provide Bryce Young with a proven target who can still stretch the defense and make a difference in a weak NFC South.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo: Ken Blaze &#8211; Imagn Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Miami Dolphins could trade Tyreek Hill, as one prominent NFL insider suggests the team could ship him if they receive the right offer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2376,"featured_media":219480,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4,36],"tags":[7811,7777,246,7661,297],"class_list":["post-219474","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dolphins","category-nfl-news","tag-chiefs-featured","tag-miami-dolphins-news","tag-nfl-news","tag-panthers-featured","tag-tyreek-hill"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219474","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219474"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219474\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":219537,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219474\/revisions\/219537"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219474"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219474"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219474"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
