Dolphins Trade Idea Swaps Tyreek Hill For Two-Time Pro Bowler

The Miami Dolphins, coming off an 8-9 season in 2024 and facing potential organizational changes if 2025 goes poorly, are seen as a team on the verge of transition. While their offense has potential for improvement due to offensive line additions, star wide receiver Tyreek Hill is reportedly unhappy and seeking a trade after his least productive season since his rookie year.

A proposed solution involves trading Hill to the Washington Commanders. The suggested deal would send Hill and a 2026 fifth-round draft pick to Washington in exchange for Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin and a 2026 seventh-round pick. McLaurin is also reportedly dissatisfied, specifically seeking a new contract.

The trade offers significant financial motivation for Miami. Moving Hill would alleviate a massive 2026 salary cap hit exceeding $51 million, freeing up resources to potentially sign McLaurin to a long-term deal without severe cap constraints.

However, executing the trade faces hurdles. Washington would be hesitant to trade McLaurin, their primary receiver (WR1), without securing a suitable replacement, especially during quarterback Jayden Daniels' critical, cost-controlled rookie contract years. Despite the challenges, the article suggests the swap could benefit both teams: Miami gets a reset with another excellent receiver in McLaurin, while Washington adds Hill to bolster their Super Bowl aspirations.
