Dolphins' Hill warns agent during contract talks: 'Do not get me traded'
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is eyeing a new contract, but he told his agent he doesn't want to get traded under any circumstance.
"Obviously, I let (my agent) Drew (Rosenhaus) and the team handle that and that situation," Hill said, per Safid Deen of USA Today. "The only thing I told Drew (was), 'Do not get me traded, bro.' Last time you did this, you got me traded.'"
He added: "I want to stay here in Miami, man. Obviously, this is where family is now. Everybody loves it here, family loves it, wife loves it, kids love it. So, `obviously I love it. I love playing for Coach, and my teammates are awesome. So, I wouldn't want to leave, man."
Miami acquired Hill from the Kansas City Chiefs in March 2022 for five draft picks, including a 2022 first-rounder. The club immediately signed Hill to a four-year, $120-million extension, making him the highest-paid wideout in the league at the time.
Hill has flourished with the Dolphins, totaling at least 1,700 receiving yards each season, and leads the league in yards during his Miami tenure. Hill finished No. 2 in Offensive Player of the Year voting last season, behind Christian McCaffrey.
Hill said before last season that he wanted to become the first player in NFL history to eclipse 2,000 yards. He ultimately fell 201 yards short in 2023 but stated he's focused more on team goals this campaign.
"Me being one of the leaders and just singling out an individual goal like that ... that was very selfish of me," Hill said, per Adam Beasley of Pro Football Network.
"Here, moving forward, an individual goal I've been talking about this whole entire offseason with my teammates ... I would want us to win a playoff game. I would love that."
Miami players reported to training camp Tuesday.
