The Miami Dolphins are experiencing troubling times following their humiliating loss to the Indianapolis Colts. With the AFC East team struggling to regain fan confidence, trade discussions for top players may soon begin. The spotlight is on star wideout Tyreek Hill once more, as NBC Sports’ observer Mike Florio indicated that the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs are contemplating a trade. This speculation reignited when Hill hinted at a desire for a fresh start earlier this year, though team officials dismissed it as unfounded frustration.
Any potential trade for Hill poses significant risks. Now 31, the former Chiefs player experienced declining performance last season and is under investigation for past off-field issues, which diminishes his trade value. However, should the NFL refrain from taking any disciplinary action before the end of this season, a playoff contender might consider acquiring Hill as a mid-season rental.
Potential Suitors for Hill
Here are some teams that could potentially show interest, assuming the Dolphins are willing to explore trade options:
- Arizona Cardinals: Marvin Harrison Jr. leads the receiver lineup, but adding Hill could provide a formidable partnership, especially with the NFC West wide open.
- Denver Broncos: Head Coach Sean Payton admires Hill’s football intelligence, and Denver could use another playmaker for quarterback Bo Nix.
- Houston Texans: While they have Nico Collins as a primary receiver, adding Hill could greatly enhance their chances within the AFC South.
- Las Vegas Raiders: With quarterback Geno Smith needing more options, Hill’s addition would significantly bolster the team’s firepower.
- Pittsburgh Steelers: Given their recent dynamic roster changes, they remain prime candidates for acquiring a high-profile receiver like Hill.
