Miami Dolphins All-Pro Receiver Predicted To Be Traded

The goal remains to challenge for a Super Bowl in 2025, but whether the Dolphins' roster is strong enough to do so is up for debate. The offense wasn’t the high-powered offense from two or three years ago, and if Tua Tagovailoa struggles to stay healthy, it could be curtains for Mike McDaniel and co., especially after an 8-9 season a year ago. 

The offense has been reliant on Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill in recent seasons, but Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report believes that the Dolphins could move on from Hill as early as the preseason, all but ending the Dolphins' chances of competing.

“Moving Hill, who turned 31 in March, would make a lot of sense,” Knox writes. “He's still a difference-making receiver when healthy, but he probably doesn't have a future in Miami after his contract expires in 2026. The Dolphins should try getting what they can for the aging speedster while they can.”

Hill was traded to the Dolphins in 2022 and has been a First Team All-Pro selection in two of the last three years while catching 319 passes for 4468 yards and 26 touchdowns. However, Hill told reporters after the 2024 season that he wanted out of Miami, and his commitment to the team has come under scrutiny since then. 

“Hill's production dipped from 1,799 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2023 to 959 yards and six touchdowns in 2024.” Knox writes. “While Tagovailoa's injuries played a role in that drop, Hill's trade value will only go down if he has another good-not-great season. Moving him now would likely bring a reasonable return while also clearing $15 million in cap space.”

Now entering his age-31 season, Hill still has the juice left to be one of the top receivers in the NFL, but he could be catching passes on a new team by the start of the 2025 season.
