Despite a 2-4 start behind the worst offense in the NFL by points per game, the Miami Dolphins aren’t motivated to trade Tyreek Hill during the season.
On the latest episode of the Scoop Citypodcast (starts at 28:50 mark), The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reported the Dolphins are “not going” to move Hill before the trade deadline.
Hill had fun a few weeks ago trolling fans in the wake of Davante Adams asking the Las Vegas Raiders for a trade.
There has been no indication the Dolphins are looking to move on from Hill. They just signed him to a reworked three-year, $90 million deal in August that keeps him under contract through the 2026 season.
Miami’s season has been so far thanks in large part to the absence of Tua Tagovailoa since Week 2 when he suffered a concussion against the Buffalo Bills. The Dolphins have tried piecing the offense together with Tyler Huntley and Skylar Thompson starting at quarterback for the past four games.
Things haven’t gone well with the offense scoring fewer than 20 points in five straight games, including Sunday’s 16-10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The Dolphins’ 11.7 points per game are the fewest in the NFL and nearly 18 points worse than their 2023 average (29.2).
There is the potential for hope on the horizon in Miami. Head coach Mike McDaniel announced Tagovailoa will practice this week with the goal of playing on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
The Dolphins are only 1.5 games out of a playoff spot in the AFC with a 2-4 record. They have some winnable games coming up starting on Sunday against the Cardinals that could turn their season around if they can get the offense going.
Hill figures to be a much bigger part of the offense with Tagovailoa back under center. He only caught one pass for eight yards in Sunday’s loss to the Colts. His 49.0 receiving yards per game is his lowest average since his rookie year in 2016 (37.1).
