Tyreek Hill said he’s “out” in the immediate aftermath of Miami’s season-ending loss to the New York Jets on Sunday — a defeat that saw the Dolphins fall to 8-9 and apparently included Hill removing himself from the game.
Coach Mike McDaniel is still assessing the fallout after learning on Monday that he will return for a fourth season. Whether that includes Hill remains to be seen, as McDaniel declined to speculate on the situation following the game.
“There’s a lot of things that I need to reassess about my career,” Hill told reporters. “I just gotta do what’s best for me and my family, whether that’s here or wherever the case may be. I’m finna open that door for myself. … I’m out, bro. It was great playing here, but at the end of the day, I gotta do what’s best for my career. I’m too much of a competitor to be just out there.”
If Hill’s desire to leave South Florida proves to be more than an emotional reaction to the end of a disappointing season, there figures to be a lengthy line of suitors for the “Cheetah.”
One sportsbook has already installed the Dallas Cowboys as the +300 favorite to land Hill should the Dolphins part with him. Dolphins pass rusher Micah Parsons took to X to “recruit” Hill, posting on Monday, “@cheetah we can be the fastest duo in the league!!! we also don’t have state income taxes!”

Owner Jerry Jones has never been shy about adding a high-profile veteran to the Cowboys’ mix, and Hill would make for a massive upgrade opposite CeeDee Lamb in Dallas’ offense.
The second-shortest odds to land Hill belong to the Raiders, who enter the offseason with significant questions at the quarterback position. Third is Atlanta, which may be interested in adding the Georgia native to pair with Drake London.

Hill, who will turn 31 in March, caught 81 passes for 959 yards in 17 games this season — marking his lowest production in a full season since his rookie year with Kansas City in 2016. The drop came following a pair of 1,700-yard seasons to begin his tenure in Miami and with Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa limited to 11 games due to concussion and hip injuries.
The Dolphins haven’t won a playoff game since the 2000 season, the longest active drought of any NFL club.
Before the 2024 season, Hill signed a three-year, $90 million extension through the 2026 season that included a $7 million signing bonus and $59 million in guaranteed money. He is due to count $28.7 million against the 2025 cap and $51.9 million in the final year of the deal in 2026.
Shortly after his comments on Sunday, Hill took to X to thank Dolphins fans for their support, writing “Love fin nation blessing yall opened doors for the Hill family forever, nothing but respect and love”
McDaniel declined to speculate how serious of a threat the eight-time Pro Bowl wide receiver might be posing in forcing his way out of the Dolphins.
“I’m not going to put too much weight on second-hand post-game disappointment statements,” McDaniel told reporters. “We will see how (the) next couple days progress in convos with him and I.”
