Dolphins predicted to trade Tyreek Hill to avoid tough alternative

There is a prediction that the Miami Dolphins might trade wide receiver Tyreek Hill to avoid a difficult alternative, as originally reported by The Sporting News. This speculation has been a topic throughout the offseason.

Despite the trade rumors, Tyreek Hill remains with the Miami Dolphins as the NFL season begins with Week 1. However, many believe this situation may not last, with ESPN's Seth Walder being one of those who anticipates a potential trade.

Seth Walder suggests that if the Dolphins' season deteriorates quickly, it would make sense to trade Hill by mid-season to maximize returns. He argues that dealing an aging player like Hill early would be better than holding onto him if the team is not contending in the latter half of the season.

Tyreek Hill is 31 years old and his contract includes a potential out after this season, though a team could opt to keep him for the final year in 2026. He recently had his first sub-1000-yard receiving season since 2019, struggling along with the rest of the Dolphins when quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was injured.

Wide receiver is noted as a classic position for midseason trades in the NFL. While it's not as active as trades in MLB or NBA, there are still opportunities for beneficial deals during the season.
