Tyreek Hill’s time in Miami could be heading toward another twist. Less than a year after signing a $90 million extension, the Dolphins wide receiver is already eyeing a new deal. With no guaranteed money left after 2025 and a $27.7 million cap hit looming, insiders say Hill’s future with the franchise is uncertain.
Despite $90M extension, Hill wants more—Dolphins may be planning exit strategy
Tyreek Hill signed a three-year, $90 million extension in 2024, with $59 million guaranteed. But with just $10 million in base salary due in 2025—and no guarantees left beyond this season—Hill is now believed to be pushing for another payday. According to reports shared on The Pat McAfee Show, Hill is aware of the booming wide receiver market and could look to restructure his deal while he still holds value.
The Dolphins, however, are in a difficult position. While Hill remains one of the NFL’s most explosive weapons, questions about his leadership and long-term fit in Mike McDaniel’s offense have resurfaced. During offseason workouts, Hill openly admitted he didn’t deserve to be a captain, saying, “I gotta show up different. The mindset gotta be different.”
That comment raised concerns inside the locker room. Former NFL defensive back Darius Butler even suggested the Dolphins may strip Hill of his captaincy in 2025. Leadership doubts, combined with contract demands, have reportedly caused Miami’s front office to quietly explore future trade scenarios.
Bleacher Report recently floated a potential three-team deal involving Hill, while Kyle Crabbs of AtoZ Sports speculated that the Dolphins could move on from the star receiver after the 2025 season, if not sooner. With his cap hit climbing and younger, cheaper receivers emerging, Miami may prefer to reallocate resources.
As of now, Hill remains in camp, fully active and training. But as NFL teams look for cap flexibility and culture stability, a blockbuster decision may not be far off.
