Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has expressed his unwavering commitment to the team and the city he loves, despite a challenging 2024 season marked by a wrist injury. Hill played the entire season with an injury that eventually required surgery. Despite this setback, he managed to record 81 catches for 959 yards and six touchdowns. However, his performance reflected his struggle, with an average of 56.3 receiving yards per game, the lowest since his rookie year in 2016.
Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, confirmed that Hill has two years remaining on his four-year extension, signed in 2022. While his salary is not guaranteed beyond the 2025 season, Hill's dedication to Miami remains steadfast. The wide receiver recently confirmed his desire to stay with the Dolphins on the "Up & Adams Show," emphasizing his and his family's affection for the city.
"I don't want to go nowhere. I love [Miami], my family loves it."
Hill's performance in 2024 stands in stark contrast to his back-to-back stellar seasons in 2022 and 2023, where he achieved 119-catch, 1,700-yard records. The drop in production was partly due to Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa missing a career-high six games that season. This absence contributed significantly to Hill's challenges on the field.
Despite expressing frustration at the end of the regular season, Hill has publicly apologized to Tagovailoa for any misunderstandings that may have arisen from his comments.
"Tua, he's my guy — always will be, no matter what."
In his public apology, Hill expressed understanding of the shared desire for victory and the importance of their relationship.
"I'm sure he understands my frustration, we all want to win… I'm looking forward to just us continuing to build our relationship — and this is my public apology to you, Tua. I love you bro."
In response to Hill's candidness, the Miami Dolphins restructured his contract last offseason, adding more guaranteed money to ensure his presence in the team moving forward. This adjustment reflects the team's commitment to retaining one of their key players as they gear up for future seasons.
