The open receiver of the Miami Dolphins, Tyreek Hill, wants to stay in Miami, despite his “frustrated” comments at the end of the regular season that suggested otherwise.
Speaking to local media after the defeat of the Dolphins season against the New York Jets in week 18, Hill said he would do the best for his career this low season “either here or wherever.” Hill then explained during a live video game broadcast this month that his comments came from a place of frustration, but confirmed Friday in the “Up and Adams show” that he wants to keep the Dolphins.
“I don’t want to go anywhere. I love [Miami]My family loves, “said Hill.” It’s something incredible, man. We are really building something special in Miami. We arrive at the playoffs the first two years. Obviously, this year was difficult. If the boys continue to buy, which coach is building and the culture that you are trying to build, it will be something incredible. “
Hill took out from that game of the jets in week 18, once it became clear that Miami would not secure a position in the playoffs. Hill played the whole season with a wrist injury he suffered in the training field, which both he and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said surgery required.
Even so, the All-Pro receiver offered an apology to the field of Tua Tagovaila field, which did not play in the game of week 18.
“You, he’s my boy, it will always be, whatever happens,” he said. “I am sure that I understand my frustration, we all want to win … I am looking forward to continuing our relationship, and this is my public apology for you, Tua. I love you brother.”
When asked if he was also apologizing to the rest of his teammates, Hill confirmed, although they said they knew that his actions were out of place for him.
“They know I’m not that type of player,” said Hill. “Many people can say: ‘Oh’, Reek is a hot head. It’s this, it’s that. ‘But all my teammates know it: I come to work every day, I start, I present myself to meetings on time and I do what I have to do. “
Hill delivered one of the worst statistical seasons of his career in 2024, registering 81 trapped for 959 yards and six touchdowns. His 56.3 yards of game reception were their lowest average since their rookie season in 2016; It was a strong decrease after consecutive seasons of 119 captures and 1,700 yards in 2022 and 2023.
However, Tagovaila lost six games in 2024, which contributed to the lack of Hill production.
The Dolphins and Hill agreed to a restructured contract the last low season, which added more money guaranteed to their agreement without adding any year. He still has two years remaining in the four -year extension signed in 2022, although his salary is not guaranteed beyond the 2025 season.
