Recent reports have sparked discussions about Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill potentially joining the Las Vegas Raiders.
These rumors gained traction following Hill’s expression of frustration after a season-ending loss to the New York Jets, where he hinted at reassessing his career.
However, Dolphins’ General Manager Chris Grier clarified that Hill has not formally requested a trade.
Financially, trading Hill presents challenges for the Dolphins. If traded before June 1, the team would face a $44 million cap hit with only $15.5 million in savings.
After June 1, the cap hit would be spread over the next two seasons. Few teams currently have the cap space to absorb Hill’s contract, possibly necessitating a pay cut for him to join a Super Bowl contender.
In a related note, during his college recruitment, Hill expressed admiration for Head Coach Pete Carroll, stating, “That’s who I want to go play for.”
However, it’s important to note that Pete Carroll is the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, not the Las Vegas Raiders.
As of now, there is no official confirmation of Hill’s intention to join the Raiders, and the involvement of Coach Pete Carroll pertains to past recruitment contexts rather than current negotiations.
