Dolphins' trade of WR Tyreek Hill is long overdue

So why do Hill's numbers remain down? Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had tremendous chemistry with the eight-time Pro Bowler upon his arrival from the Kansas City Chiefs. As Tagovailoa has changed his style of play, everyone's production has plummeted. Hill has just 198 receiving yards and one touchdown through the season's first three weeks.

Tagovailoa has, of course, had multiple concussions and, as a result, has become less willing to hang onto the ball in the pocket. He's resorted to the quick passing game, often ending up with the ball being intercepted or thrown away as the pass rush gets to him.

In just three weeks, we've already seen Tagovailoa underthrow deep balls and sail passes on intermediate routes where Hill is wide open, having created plenty of separation. 

Tyreek Hill's frustration is evident

While the 31-year-old has yet to let his frustration spill over, the Dolphins need to move on before it reaches that point. It's inevitable and should have been done already.

It's early, but this season is almost lost, so it's time to acquire draft capital and build towards the future. Not only does it make sense for Miami, but Hill deserves an opportunity to thrive elsewhere while at the top of his game. 

The Chiefs, Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers are just some of the teams that would surely kick tires if the Dolphins make Hill available.
