Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill is reportedly seeking a new contract, but it remains uncertain if the team will address his request. As one of the best players on the team and among the top in the NFL, it seems reasonable to assume that the Dolphins will consider it. Currently, Hill is being paid $25 million per year, which is considered low for his caliber. In 2024, he is slated to earn $19.765 million, further highlighting his desire for a new deal.
While publicly maintaining a positive attitude, Hill may be privately pushing for a contract that reflects his value. With him being 30 years old and having three years left on his current contract, questions arise about whether the Dolphins will meet his demands. If he doesn’t receive a new deal, will he resort to holding out or perhaps even retiring?
The recent contract extension given to receiver Jaylen Waddle, who will earn $28.25 million per year in new money, has sparked speculation about Hill’s future contract. Could this signal a changing of the guard from Hill as the No. 1 receiver to Waddle? The Dolphins have the option to wait until next year to address Hill’s contract or even keep him for two more years before reconsidering or releasing him in 2026.
Ultimately, it is up to the Dolphins to decide Hill’s fate. If they choose not to provide him with a new contract, it will be interesting to see how he responds. In the past, he was traded by the Chiefs instead of meeting their salary demands. Will Hill consider this route again if the Dolphins do not meet his expectations? Only time will tell how this situation will unfold.
