Tyreek Hill’s Cryptic Social Media Post Sparks Retirement Speculation

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Michael Gallagher | Last updated Dec 4, 2024 11:17 PM ET

Considered one of the top five wide receivers in the NFL, Miami Dolphins wideout Tyreek Hill is at the top of his game.

Though he’s having a bit of a down season (55 receptions, 83 targets, 654 yards, four touchdowns) with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa missing games from Weeks 3-8 after suffering a concussion, Hill is still one of the most dangerous receivers in the NFL.

So when he published an ominous social media post on Wednesday evening possibly hinting he could be thinking about retirement, it caused some fans to spiral a bit at the prospect of losing the six-time All-Pro receiver, who may or may not be thinking about his NFL future.

Hill posted a photo on his X account on Wednesday with a photo of him walking out of the tunnel behind quarterback Skylar Thompson with a caption that read “Love what you do cause it will soon end.”

Though Hill very well could have been just talking about this season ending (the Dolphins only have five regular-season games left), fans took his cryptic message to mean he could retire during the offseason, with many speculating on social media about what was next for the 30-year-old WR.

“Tyreek retiring, wants no part of the rebuild in Miami,” one fan said.

“Ohhh he gone gone,” another wrote.

“Retirement message?” another fan asked.

“Is this the last season?” one user stated.

“[Expletive] you retiring after this @cheetah,” asked another.

“If Ur Retiring after this season just say that,” remarked one fan.

Hill has two more seasons left on his contract with s $31.2 million cap hit in 2025 and a $55.3 million cap hit in 2026, though there is a clause that lets the Dolphins opt out of the final year of his contract without any dead cap.
