Twitter post:  It's time for me for the go coach.

Tyreek, it was great to have you here.  You gave us two playoff berths. 

I wonder what we can get for him

I saw this on Facebook and it did not surprise me one bit.   

The tweet was:
"It’s time for me to go coach"

You are reading it as:
"It’s time for me to leave, coach McDaniel"

However, it could just as well mean:
"It’s time for me to go be a head coach"

Given the recent high-profile coaching hires, this is an overreaction.  If Tyreek had said "It's time for me to go play soccer" after Mbappe was offered $1B to play 1 year in Saudi Arabia, that does not mean he wants out from the Dolphins.

Hill is a professional twitter troll anyway, so I wouldn't read too much into this.

^^^^ This. Tyreek has already admitted as much several times. He even Tweeted yesterday afternoon ... " Got yall exactly how I want  >:D"

Didn't the Dolphins just give him a boat load of money for absolutely no reason. 

Either of these could make sense, but I also read it a third way:

"I'm ready to let loose -- dial up plays for me, coach!"

Both of Spider’s examples equate to it is time to leave the Dolphins.Dave’s example doesn’t seem likely but I saw it also. I have slowly been less and less enamored with him as the season has gone on.

The second only equates to leaving the Dolphins if you believe Hill's sincere intention is to immediately become a coach at age 30.

His quote is it is time for me to go coach. Not it will be time for me to go coach after my playing days are done.  You have already stretched it to the limit.

When asked today Hill said he is not seeking a trade.

"What I meant was, 'When I say it's time for me to go coach, meaning that when you see guys like Teddy Bridgewater, you see guys like Michael Vick getting his head coaching job, it's like, bro, I want to be a coach also when I'm done playing,'' Hill said. "You know what I'm saying? So that's all I meant by it."

"I didn't mean by I want to get traded or I want to leave Miami," Hill said. "I'm in a great situation here. I love the guys here. I love this organization. They obviously changed me and my family's life, you know what I'm saying, forever. So I'm in a great spot, man. I'm happy. I wish we were playing better ball, but at the end of the day, like I feel like when I tweet something, it's not always about football.


The guy loves trolling people.

They gave him the extra money because wideouts can be divas and sometimes it’s best to keep them happy.


Yup that’s how I read it from the beginning. He’s said he was going to retire after the contract expires and he’s thinking about what he wants to do next. Truthfully I’m glad he’s interested in coaching instead of color commentary or analysis. Last thing we need is someone else with future CTE calling the broadcast.


Eh the dude is a bit of case but  he’s fine. The incident before the Jags game set a bad tone for the year but that’s on the cops more than anything.

If Tua didn’t get injured I guarantee he’s over a 1k yards again and other teams have figured out how to limit him with this two high safety shit and the league nerfed us with the “emphasis” on pre snap motion penalties, and that’s been McDaniel’s failure to adjust and get him properly involved. He’s still our leading receiver iirc.

Apparently I "stretched" it so far that it became the literal direct truth!

Gonna pat myself on the back for calling this one at jump:

We gave him a shitload of money, and he's rewarded us with the worst full season of his career.

So, after a woeful game, right after MM said that Tyreek was as much to blame for Tua's interceptions...

https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/mike-mcdaniel-both-tua-tagovailoa-and-tyreek-hill-take-blame-for-three-interceptions

Tyreek then came up with this little gem:

(https://i.imgur.com/3Bro9Ds.png)

You can put up with a WR's Diva antics when they deliver. Lack of a comma, mistake or not, this is a whole pile of horseshit that should not have been said.

It's about time Tyreek ate a plate of humble pie, and STFU until he does something on the field this year to justify the huge amounts of cash we dumped into his bank account after last offseason. It's one thing to have fun, but this wasn't any misunderstanding. He was pissing in the pocket of his employer because he thinks he can get away with it.

Have you seen the Police officer's bodycam footage of the incident? He was being a complete asshole to them.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gqnvj1v8lo

^^^ He was ignoring the officers requests. Most people get "detained" and vehicles searched when that happens. Watch On Patrol Live one weekend and see how many times it happens to people of all races. It amazes me how many people these days don't understand the officer is in charge of the situation. Of course it amazes me how many people claim to be sovereign citizens too but that's a whole other level of crazy.

The Police have a hard enough job to do to keep the public safe (as well as reckless drivers from themselves). It's not too big an ask for some respect for them, and do as they say until the situation is sorted out.

How fucking hard is it to lower a window, or get out of the car if (what is obviously) a Police officer asks? (with a lot of other officers in the vicinity)

Tyreek was caught speeding and dismissively says to the officer, something like, just give me a ticket and go away... it's just not good enough. Does he seriously thinks he is so much better than everyone else that the law doesn't apply to him? IMO with all the additional Police officers on the scene, he was lucky just to get to the game and not be in a jail cell come kickoff.

Was that the first major derailment, or the alleged assault on the boat during the offseason? 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAWbFfVGLd8

You may get away with this crap if you are the top WR in the league. We're paying him like he is... but this season he's been far from it.

He was ignoring the officers REASONABLE demands, in particular keeping his tinted windows up.  

Cops often make unreasonable demands.  In this case they didn't.

Like I said originally... Tyreek was being an asshole.

It amazes me that people assume police can do anything they want legally. Pulling someone out of the car and searching their car without probable cause isn't legal. And being an asshole to cops is completely legal. This was a miami cop on a power trip. The charges were all dismissed, he was suspended.

Look at the footage. This Miami cop was hardly alone during this incident. The one person on a power trip was Tyreek.

I get that people's feelings might not reflect the law but the law still holds all the cards legally. There is no law against being an asshole that I am aware of. "Reasonable suspicion" is refusing to obey an officer and is reason enough for detaining someone. They can establish "probable cause" after that based on the circumstances which includes continued disobedience.

Reek should have managed it better but he was not a threat to them lol plain and simple they felt disrespected and made an example out of him, because that’s how gangsters operate.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1876074760825897169

No doubts now after he said this today after the game to a reporter:

"I’m opening the door. I’m out. It was great playing here, but at the end of the day, I have to do what’s best for my career."

As he walked away, he was asked if that meant he was looking to leave Miami. Hill shrugged and responded over his shoulder, “Yes.”

Goodbye Tyreek.

Well I was wrong and everyone else was right. It seems like he quit on the team as he didn’t play after what second quarter? Once it was clear Denver was gonna win?

Well I would demand  high price for him. We can either get something worthwhile or he can retire or stay with us.

Look carefully at the teams in the playoffs that get bounced early.  One of them might need receiver help to go further next year.  That's where you'll get your best price from

And I would hold firm for a good offer, if no one bites he can retire. He might be a multimillionaire but when you have that many kids and that many baby mommas your child support can high real quick.

The best offer we can get is for someone to take his contract. The restructure at the start of the year has made him rich, and is going to kill us for the next couple of seasons.

If we didn't do that, we could have parted ways after this season with much less damage.

Going into 2025, according to Over The Cap, we are already projected to be about $12M over before any moves are made. Even with Tyreek possibly gone, there are going to be more deep cuts to the list just to get to the starting blocks for next season. Sound familiar?

Yeah it does. Like I was saying, cursed.

Hopefully Anthony Weaver gets hired elsewhere too. As long as Ross is in control we do not deserve him.

I'm fine with Tyreek leaving.  He's great when he wants to be, but if he doesn't feel like playing in some games he is a detriment to the team.

His performance today didn't help his chances to become a head coach.  The defense absolutely folded in the 4th quarter.

No one cares. the Dolphins defense still overperformed with the lack of talent talent they had. Crazy to be ranked so high with so few sacks and turnovers.


Back to Tyreek .... the talking heads are saying he will back track and say its not what he meant. Drew Rosenhaus refused to comment on it last night.

i actually don't blame him...

waddle should want out too

we have a crap coach and a crap GM and a QB that can't throw pass 20 yards..

But wait, he really didn't want to leave after the last time he said he wanted to leave.

I wouldn't be one but surprised if Tyreek is on the roster next year.
I also would understand if we traded him.  Such is life.

I wouldn't give a sweetheart deal, though.  Someone would have to take his contract and reward us with picks.  Short of that, I'd make him retire.  I think he's full of crap and likes the limelight too much and likes big houses and nice things and lots of kids -- that's an expensive lifestyle, so I'd call his bluff.

https://x.com/ProFootballTalk/status/1876303795736777076

"Tyreek Hill's apparent refusal to play could trigger a contract showdown in Miami, with millions in guarantees potentially voided and millions in previously paid bonuses potentially forfeited."

Potentially having to pay us back millions (or the same to lawyers) may change his mind if this has any traction... mind you, after this season, I'm not sure I really want him back.

Yeah I think their 4th quarter fold was more about looking at the scoreboard and seeing the Bronco's up 31-0, and realizing the season was over.  Not to mention the offense had already doomed them with turnovers.

Let Tyreek go, get a 2nd or 3rd round pick for him and let's get over his drama.  Miami needs to do a mini re-build anyways, they have too much salary and need too many players to be a playoff threat.

The latest on Tyreek, including some of his teammates' comments after his post-game comments were brought up.

It also suggests what we get in the way of picks from a potential trade partner is likely to be on the low side using the Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans last April as a comparison (Buffalo got a second-round draft pick for Diggs, but also gave up fourth and fifth-round picks as part of the deal).

https://www.si.com/nfl/dolphins/news/the-latest-on-the-tyreek-hill-saga-01jgyvdzcrc1

He's been requested to interview with Chicago and New Orleans.  I would think they would let him if he wanted to interview but I haven't seen anyone saying the Dolphins were granting it.

I presume the CHI and NO interviews are for head coach, which don't require permission.
You have to allow any assistant coach to interview for a promotion.

Tyreek Hill's agent says star WR is committed to Dolphins despite season-ending comments

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/tyreek-hills-agent-says-star-wr-is-committed-to-dolphins-despite-season-ending-comments/

Drew also said this in the interview when pressed Rosenhaus on the part about Hill still wanting to be a Dolphin.

"Let me just say this," Rosenhaus said. "I've got to have that conversation with Tyreek. I'm not going to speak for him. We'll discuss that. That's going to be really something we work out over the ... I'm not going to say he does or he doesn't."He was wishy washy at best. Tyreek is unstable and Drew is just trying to manage things right now.

Tyreek is unstable and Drew is trying to manage the situation until it clears. It's funny because Tyreek keeps trying to get fans to come to his store at the Aventura Mall but refuses to acknowledge anything about the incident yet all the comments attack him. He needs to apologize to fans before many will ever forgive him. They are tired of catering to prima donna players who still are not winning.

Me either. Tyreek being Tyreek. He's emotional and said what he said without really thinking about what it was he was saying. I still think he wants to play for a winner, but I'm not sure that he's gonna get a better offer than returning to the Dolphins.

This is gonna come down to who will want him. He didn't have a good season, but he's only a year removed from a great season so somebody will come calling, the question is will it be the right team? There's not a lot of good teams that will be willing to bring on Tyreek and his salary in my humble opinion.

This is the problem. Not many teams are gonna want Tyreek in that way and of those teams are any of them "winning" teams? You really think KC wants you back? Not with your salary they don't.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/dolphins-gm-says-tyreek-hill-hasnt-asked-for-trade-despite-comments-top-landing-spots-for-star-wr-if-dealt/

Of the five teams CBS Sports listed as trade possibilities (Atlanta, Baltimore, Green Bay, LA Chargers, Washington), the Commanders would be at the top of my list to talk with if we go down this path. NFC playoff team on the up with a young QB and plenty of cap space, so potentially appealing for all parties.

Tyreek posted "3 hour drive to Tampa about to be a breeze" on X and people are saying things like We don't want you here. Keep heading to Jax with your drama! Jax people are saying to stay in Miami! hahahaha

I don't know how be can get to Tampa in three hours.  It's at least a five hour drive from Miami

According to google it's a four hour drive.

Maybe Tyreek can do in three when he's speeding in his supercar and the police aren't paying any attention (unlike that one certain time)

My 2 cents worth.

As it stands, my gut feel is we should trade Tyreek before June 1st, wear the cap hit for 2025, and completely free up 2026 where we are up for a potential $52 million (yes you read that right) salary cap hit for Tyreek.

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/cap/_/year/2026/sort/cap_total

If we trade him after June 1st there's some relief to the tune of something like $15 million, but then it's pushed into 2026 as dead money (like we've worn this year for X). I would rather rip off the bandaid right now (and save $52 million for 2026), see if Tua is genuinely an elite QB without him, and if Waddle is a #1 receiver (that we are paying him for) with McDaniel. If it fails, it's vindication to get rid of the lot and reset.

As it stands, all pointers are looking like this is a totally botched/failed rebuild - McDaniel & Grier have one year to get it right, or else (and an impatient Ross has already indicated that another season like this - or worse - will not be tolerated). In such a scenario , the new coach & GM will need coming in will all of the help they can get, and we've pushed back the contracts on the credit card too much already. You can only do that so long before it all blows up - and it basically already has.

Tyreek lives west of Southwest Ranches and Ft lauderdale so it's likely no problem for him. Of course ... the Tampa area is quite large so it depends on where.  I get to the stadium in under 3 hours and I'm north of Orlando. 80 miles an hour on I-75 would do it for him and he's still getting passed.

I saw somewhere asking if Tyreek was the late person. Joe Rose seems to think it is and he even mentioned yesterday no one from the Dolphins has called him to negate that. Other than doing the radio call for the Dolphins, Joe is best friends with Dan and almost always knows more than he says. He also seemed to think other highly paid players were guilty as well. Without saying it, it sounded like Ramsey to me.

The theory is Tyreek isn't going anywhere. It's expected that Chris and Mike need this year to work to keep their jobs so trading your best player for draft picks wouldn't benefit them. Seems to make sense to me but Tyreek could always go crazy to force his way out. Saw he was with Jonnu at some function so he is still hanging with other players.  

Tyreek Hill on end-of-season comments: It was frustration:

https://www.thephinsider.com/2025/1/25/24351824/miami-dolphins-wide-receiver-tyreek-hill-on-end-of-season-comments-it-was-frustration

While on cam streaming fortnite, Tyreek came up with:

“What y’all heard at the end of the season was frustration,” Hill said. “I’ve been winning my whole life. I bust my ass every day, so I deserve to feel like that — I deserve to have some sort of opinion.

“We gotta put pressure [on the franchise], like come on and add some muthafuckin dogs.”

It's really hard to know what's going on with him and his camp given how flippant he is. I don't how the hell he expects the team to add quality players when he (along with Tua, Waddle, Ramsey and Chubb) have taken up so much of the salary cap and we are already well in deficit. Then again, he never did seem to be the sharpest tool in the shed.

It's the sort of distraction the team doesn't really need while it's picking up the pieces after a disappointing season.

He is a spoiled brat.  He could have stayed in KC by signing an extension that would have made him slightly less money and been on a championship team. 

Yesterday ... Jimmy Johnson was saying he shipped off a great player when he took over the Dolphins because it wasn't worth the distractions he caused on the team. He didn't say who it was but mentioned him being a TE. I believe we traded Keith Byers to New England that year. 

As Herb Brooks said it is not about having the best players it is about having the right players. 

Eric Green. I don't remember Byers being a problem player

Oh yes ... you are correct. It even says it on wikipedia.

On March 11, 1995, Green signed a six-year, $12 million contract with the Miami Dolphins.[7] At the time of the signing, Green's contract made him the highest paid tight end in NFL history. Green had also visited with the Raiders prior to signing with the Dolphins, but they did not make him an offer.[7]

On July 9, 1996, Green was released from the Miami Dolphins. His weight problems and work ethic caused then-coach Jimmy Johnson to release Green from the team, which terminated his six-year, $12 million contract. Green attempted to collect his $1.5 million salary by going to arbitration. He said that his knee injury was caused by jogging with the team at mini-camp, while the Dolphins said it occurred while jogging at home.

As others have mentioned, it was Eric Green.

He was far from a "great player" in a Dolphins uniform, he was an overpaid, overweight, overrated bum.

Devon Achane addressed Tyreek's "dawgs" comment. "We got dawgs. We just need more people to bring it out. I wouldn't say we need more, as in got to get other (players)," said Achane. I don't think he was but it kind of comes across like he was calling Tyreek out ... Hahaha

Nice to see Terron Armstead kind of calling out Tyreek. He's definitely one of the leaders than can.

"He wants to win. He really wants to win, so when he doesn't, it bothers him to the depths of his core," Armstead told talkSPORT. "I know the words that he said after our last game, I can't excuse him for it. As a captain and a leader, you can't do it."

"He has some mending to do with some relationships and just getting that energy back to where it needs to be. But his desire to win, his competitiveness, his explosiveness, his confidence, his history of winning is everything that's needed from one of your leaders," he added.

While Armstead noted that it "just can't happen," he said Hill was "regretful" for his comments.

That's where I am a little torn on whether or not Armstead returns.

His potential retirement is an easy avenue to (partly) address our immediate salary cap ills, plus there's the criticism he misses too many games through injury (although ironically 2024 was probably his best season for many years in that regard).

On the flip side he is a genuine leader and good influence on the locker room, and his best form is genuinely elite at the position.

A salary restructure is possibly on the cards (again), although that will more than likely result in more dead cap money pain down the road (again).

Back to Tyreek...

Has he had surgery yet on what he said after the season was a broken wrist?

Or has he been too busy playing Fortnite to get around to it?

Or too busy attending the trial about allegedly breaking the leg of an Only Fans model:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nfl/article-14386057/tyreek-hill-admits-court-weekend-plus-size-OnlyFans-Sophie-Hall-fetish.html

... or too busy organizing his potential sprint race against Olympic Gold Medalist Noah Lyles to settle their ongoing feud.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/dolphins-star-tyreek-hill-set-to-race-olympic-100m-gold-medalist-noah-lyles-in-high-speed-showdown/

Reminds me of when Ocho Cinco claimed he was a faster swimmer than Mark Phillips.

I have to believe the Lyles thing is a publicity stunt. No one in their right mind thinks Tyreek could beat him.

To be fair he doesn't need to beat him just be close enough to make it competitive and I'm not sure that Tyreek isn't capable of that. I think the biggest hurdle for Tyreek will be the start, once they both get moving Tyreek will probably stay reasonably close.

It looks like he may have got around to that surgery.

He's wearing a pretty significant cast while recording a promotion for a store appearance (although some are questioning it, given his prior history of trolling).

https://www.si.com/nfl/dolphins/news/more-tyreek-trolling-or-a-sign-of-surgery-01jmpvxr10bg

I think we've discussed it already but yesterday Joe Rose confirmed he was directly told that Tyreek got Wes Welker fired. Tyreek doesn't appreciate being held accountable. I'm not sure how this fits into Mike's supposed new enforcement of rules. In my opinion all this will do is enable Tyreek to be worse.

I call BS but McDaniels said it wasn't the reason. I trust Joe Rose to be more truthful than McDaniel who is notorious for protecting his players.

Speaking at the NFL scouting combine on Tuesday morning, McDaniel clarified that wasn’t the case.

“I could see why one could come to that conclusion. However, it wasn’t at all,” McDaniel said.

He actually spoke highly of the position coach he fired, in favor of Robert Prince, who will now coach wide receivers after his stint with the Dallas Cowboys.

“In coaching, especially, I have a high regard for Wes Welker,” McDaniel said. “Generally, in my position, I have to do the hard thing, which is, in this case, is look past the relationship. And for me, I take the job and the responsibility of being a head coach super serious. And I don’t play with people’s livelihoods.”

Welker had been on McDaniel’s Dolphins staffs since he first took over in 2022. He also was wide receivers coach with the San Francisco 49ers for the three previous seasons, from 2019 through 2021, when McDaniel served as run game coordinator and, eventually, offensive coordinator.

“For me, it’s very important that I outline specifically what I’m looking for on the front end with the coach, and in certain situations, those things can’t be delivered upon,” McDaniel said. “So who else is going to do the hard but right thing? That’s my job, but it was motivated in things that were much beyond what happened with Tyreek at the end of the season.”

Hill and Walker are the exact opposite.  Welker is a decent but not great athlete who was successful by working harder than everyone else.  Hill is naturally gifted but lazy and selfish. 

Not surprised they didn't mesh.

He allegedly broke her leg??   :D :D :D

She looks like she could break HIS leg, not to mention every other bone in his body.

McDaniel has confirmed that Tyreek had surgery on his wrist. It wasn't broken, but was ligament damage, and there was no risk of any further damage while he was still playing last season.

https://www.si.com/nfl/dolphins/news/the-tyreek-timeline-after-wrist-surgery-01jmzejqhsfg

It's nice of him to wait almost 2 months after the season to get surgery. They were saying last night he will now miss part of the season.

No point in screwing up your vacation with rehab when you can use it as an excuse to miss training camp.

It mightn't matter so much to us either if we end up trading him.

After the disaster if his 2024 season, missing training camp would be just another reason to ship his attitude outta the building and his big salary off the books.

Matters a lot.  If he can't pass a physical he doesn't have much trade value. 

Passing a physical with another team shouldn't be a problem, so it really won't effect his trade value (which is not going to be huge anyway because of his age and the size of his contract - thanks again Grier). Who ever wants him is based on what he did in 2023 and the chance of him repeating that. Tyreek's biggest problem is in between the ears, and if he can't get that right it will be another expensive wasted year on our list.

If he chooses to miss any of preseason (like he did last preseason holding out for Tua to be paid, followed by himself) it's likely to lead to the same mistakes he made that hurt us last year. Too many illegal procedure, false start, technical penalties. Not enough effort when it was really needed from him. There's no excuse for this. Sure, he's recovering from wrist surgery, but he can still run, he practice all the running routes and timing to get it all right, attend all the meetings (on time), etc.

He talks up being a leader, but without the actions to match it up it's just BS. If there's no sign of change this preseason, we're better off shipping his ass. Regardless of what we get for him.

I have to admit, for some reason when I read that Tyreek had a fetish for LARGE women, I thought of this scene from Bad Santa:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVWk6IfRuEE

Apparently they are talking, and have narrowed the race down to being a 60m sprint, etc, etc. etc...

https://sports.yahoo.com/article/tyreek-hill-vs-noah-lyles-192745246.html

I would rather Hill just concentrate on his rehab from surgery and become a better player than the hollow shell that he was last year...

Or just fuck off and take his sideshow and massive paycheck somewhere else.

He's always going to bring distractions. The question is if he is worth it. Kansas City was able to keep his issues quiet but in the end didn't think so.

Since he's been dispatched, how many titles do KC have? It seems like they did OK without him.
