Whether Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill can return at the beginning of 2026 remains to be seen, but the injury could only be described as terribly serious. Still, the Dolphins must move on, and here are three trade targets after the devastating injury to Hill.
One thing that needs to be considered is what the Dolphins can do after this injury. Whatever trade target they might be able to get, he won’t be Tyreek Hill. And he likely won’t even be in Hill’s category. So, at 1-3, should the Dolphins make a big push to get another receiver? Or should they hang with what they have and ride out the season and set things up for 2026?
It seems like the latter makes sense, but let’s explore what kind of trades they could seek.
At the start of this, let’s remember Meyes requested a trade over the summer. In today’s NFL, that doesn’t always mean that much. But since the Raiders are struggling out of the gates, maybe they might consider sending Meyers to the Dolphins.
The key question is whether the Dolphins would give up any kind of reasonable draft pick for Meyers. It’s not like the Raiders are trying to get rid of him.
Meyers didn’t hold out because of loyalty to his teammates, according to The Athletic.
“I mean, that’s probably the hardest part,” Meyers said before the season. “Honestly, I got to give a shout out to my teammates, because if it wasn’t for them, I probably would’ve did the same thing everybody else do. But you got to find a way to separate yourself, honestly, from just the B.S. and all the business. At the end of the day, my teammates got my back and I got they back. I’ma just rock out with them.”
Still, Meyers said he deserved a better payday.
“Just off what I did previously, I feel like I earned it,” Meyers said. “I was kind of hoping that it would get done. (And) I felt like I proved enough that I deserve to be here. I thought they would see it that way — they don’t.”
So maybe the Dolphins could play on some of that angst that probably remains.
Because of how the season has gone so far, the Dolphins can take a chance. And that’s what it would be with Ridley. Things haven’t gone well as Ridley has only 10 catches in four games with 141 yards and no touchdowns.
Plus, Ridley isn’t happy with things at this point, according to atozsports.com, and would probably like a fresh start.
“Oh, I’m upset, very upset,” Ridley said. “I didn’t expect this, but I’m moving on, trying my best to move on from the past weeks. Excited for the new opportunity, thank God I have another game in front of me, but very upset about it.
“Move on, the days don’t stop, honestly,...
