The league’s leading receiver in 2023 had to deal with trade rumours throughout the off-season, and now he’s got domestic violence accusations looming over his head, and add to that he and the Miami Dolphins’ are struggling on the field.

On Friday, Hill was asked by a reporter if there’s a rhyme or reason he hasn’t caught a pass for over 30 yards in a full year.

“You’re trying to piss me off,” joked Tyreek while appearing visibly uncomfortable.

“He was bout to beat that reporter like he does his significant others,” said one fan online.
“He wants to scream TUA, but can’t,” said someone else.
“Holy super defensive, noted another fan.

Hill’s estranged wife, Keeta Vaccaro, has accused him of domestic violence in court filings related to their divorce. Reports allege that Hill became violent with her in early January 2024, two months after they were married. There were eight total incidents reported. Hill isn’t facing criminal charges, but could be the subject of a Personal Conduct Policy investigation as a result of those allegations.

In their season opener, Miami got blown out 33-8 by the Indianapolis Colts. Hill caught four passes for 40 yards. Tagovailoa struggled as well, going 14/23 for 114 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.

It has long been discussed that the Miami Dolphins may want to part ways with Hill due to his off-field distractions and his form on the field. In 2024, he had just 959 yards receiving, only the third time in his NFL career that he’d failed to reach the 1,000-yard mark. The Dolphins failed to make the playoffs last season for the first time since acquiring Hill.

Two teams interested in Hill

Even with his troubles on and off the field, there is interest from other teams in his services.

Among them, per reports are the Pittsburgh Steelers, though there is concern about whether or not they’ll have to send a draft pick to Miami in return. The Kansas City Chiefs are another team that has shown interest in bringing back their former dynamic receiver.

He had four 1,000+ yard seasons at Kansas City, helping them capture their first Super Bowl this century in the 2019 season.

The chemistry between Patrick Mahomes and Hill was undeniable in KC, while Aaron Rodgers is a four-time NFL MVP and one of the most accurate passers of his time.

The Dolphins’ next game is scheduled for Sunday against the New England Patriots.
