MIAMI — It looks like the Miami Dolphins’ star receiver might want out.

Just minutes after the Dolphins suffered a rather humiliating 32-20 loss to the New York Jets, Tyreek Hill was asked about his message to the team in the offseason. The eight-time Pro Bowler, instead, responded questioning his own future in Miami.

“This is the first time I haven’t been in the playoffs,” Hill said Sunday evening. “For me, I have to do what’s best for me and my family if that’s here or wherever the case may be. I’m finna open that door for myself. I’m opening the door. I’m out. It was great playing here.”

Hill’s comments came after he finished with two catches for 20 yards. The receiver also didn’t play a single snap in the fourth quarter, something that coach Mike McDaniel said he was told “right before a drive.” McDaniel refused to comment on Hill’s postgame statements.

“I’m not going to be too much weight on second hand postgame disappointment statements,” McDaniel said. “We will see how next couple days progress in convos with him and I.”

Hill ended the season with 959 yards receiving, marking the first time that he didn’t hit the 1,000-yard mark since his injury-laden 2019 season.

The five-time All-Pro receiver’s contract runs through 2026. Hill will have a $27.7 million cap hit in 2025 yet that figure could change depending on when he’s traded. If the trade happens before June 1, the dead money cap hit would slightly rise to $28.3 million but drop to $12.7 million if occurs afterwards.
