- Miami Dolphins. Tyreek Hill shows explosive speed as he runs away from controversy sparking trade rumors
- Miami Dolphins. Tyreek Hill deuces celebration gets thrown by a high school quarterback to embarrass his rivals
Tyreek Hill didn't hold back when streamer Adin Ross hit him with a prank mid-stream, saying he'd been traded from the Dolphins. Without hesitation, Hill smiled and said, "Let's go." Sure, it was all part of the joke but for many fans, the reaction felt a little too real.
That's because Hill's future in Miami has been a hot topic for months. While he hasn't formally asked for a trade, some of his behavior has raised eyebrows. After the Dolphins lost in Week 18 of the 2024 season, Hill posted "I'm out, bro" and changed his social media profile picture to one of Antonio Brown walking off the field, the kind of move that gets people talking. And it did. Fast. That's what makes Hill's reaction to Adin Ross all the more interesting.
The joke hits hard because Hill's future is no laughing matter
The Dolphins' front office quickly stepped in. General Manager Chris Grier told reporters that Hill hadn't requested a trade in their recent meeting, trying to put the rumors to rest. Still, the noise was loud enough that Hill had to address it himself. He explained that the post was made out of frustration understandable, since it was his first time missing the playoffs in his career and that he wanted to stay in Miami.
But even with those clarifications, the uncertainty hasn't gone away. Hill's 2024 season was underwhelming, both in production and impact. Combine that with his off the field issues including a public divorce and a traffic stop incident where he was temporarily detained and the questions about his long term role with the Dolphins feel justified.
Adding to the tension, Hill's contract only guarantees money through the 2025 season. That gives the team an easy out if things don't improve and gives Hill reason to be on edge. One more rocky year, and both sides could be ready to part ways.
So while the prank may have been all laughs, it hit a nerve that was already exposed. Hill's reaction smiling, seemingly relieved, didn't help quiet the rumors. If anything, it fueled the idea that he might already be imagining life after Miami.
In the end, Hill remains a Dolphin for now. But as the 2025 season approaches, his actions on and off the field will decide whether that remains true for much longer.
