Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill shocked the football world with his candid statement about his desire to leave the franchise after a disappointing 2024 NFL season.
The Dolphins finished 8-9, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2019 and marking the first postseason absence in Hill’s career.
Following a Week 18 loss to the New York Jets, Hill reflected on his future during a locker room interview.
“At the end of the day, there’s a lot of things I need to reassess about my career,” Hill said.
“I’m out, bro. It was great playing here, but I’ve got to do what’s best for my career.”
Hill’s frustrations likely stem from a challenging season. He recorded 79 receptions for 959 yards and six touchdowns, a significant drop from his 1,799-yard, 13-touchdown performance the previous year, per ESPN.
Fans quickly reacted to Hill’s comments, with many tying his frustrations to his 2022 departure from the Kansas City Chiefs. As Bleacher Report shared a video of the interview, a heated discussion sparked.

“Still don’t understand why he didn’t stay with KC. Money wasn’t as much but if he cares this much bout winning he should have stayed,” a fan remarked.
“Bro misses Patrick and the Chiefs bad,” another added.
Speculation about a possible reunion with the Chiefs surfaced, but skepticism also loomed.

“Would be wild if he ended up back in Kansas City,” a fan suggested.
“Chiefs won’t take you back anymore,” another said.
“He chased money over staying with KC. His own fault,” another criticized.
As Tyreek Hill evaluates his next move, his future has become a focal point of discussion. Whether he considers returning to the Chiefs or seeks a new path, his decision could have significant implications for his career and the NFL landscape.
