TYREEK Hill’s representatives aren’t making it clear if he is staying or going at the Miami Dolphins.
Hill told the media that he was “out” after the team lost their final game of the season.
Hill appeared to quit on the Dolphins midway through their final game against the New York Jets.
Head coach Mike McDaniel seemingly confirmed this in his postgame press conference.
“I was informed that he was unavailable right before a drive,” McDaniel said.
“I was not informed that it was a new injury. And you know, I think at that point in time, my focus was on the players and I didn’t take the time to go and try to figure out more into that.
“There was guys on the field that were competing, we were trying to win a game, so my focus was there.”
The two parties reportedly held a meeting to discuss Hill’s behavior, and the receiver decided not to request a trade.
However, Hill’s agent, Drew Rosnhaus, fired some shots toward the Dolphins after the incident occurred.
“I believe that Tyreek is a great asset to the Dolphins,” Rosenhaus said,
“And I think that he’s the least guy that people should be worried about for this organization.
“They have more worries. Tyreek Hill is not one of them.”
Rosenhaus didn’t explain what those worries were, but he did express confidence in Hill’s desire to remain with the Dolphins.
“What you see with Tyreek is very genuine,” he said.
“He wants to win. It’s not good enough for him not to make the playoffs. He is very passionate.
“I think at the end of the day, he is committed to this Dolphins football team.”
Rosenhaus also claimed that Hill broke his wrist ahead of the season and was recommended surgery for the injury.
He instead declined and played through the pain instead of missing the season.
“The doctors all said: ‘It’s going to be painful. It could impact your entire career. If you don’t get it done now, you may not be able to fix it all the way,'” Rosenhaus said.
“Tyreek said: ‘Hey, to heck with it. I’m a team guy, I’m going for it.”
Hill had his first sub-1,000-yard season since 2019 with the Dolphins this season. He also missed out on the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career.
He finished the season with 959 yards and six touchdowns.
