If the Miami Dolphins end up shopping superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill, there certainly wouldn’t be a shortage of interested teams.
Moments after the Dolphins’ season ended with a Week 18 loss to the New York Jets, Tyreek Hill made headlines when he told reporters he had to do what’s best for him and his family before adding “I’m out, bro.”
Per ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques, the 30-year-old Hill tried clarifying his post-game words during a recent video game stream by stating that he made the comments out of “frustration.”
Regardless of where Hill wants to play, GM Chris Grier should at least explore the market for his All-Pro wideout. And if there’s one team that should be extra motivated to trade for the future Hall of Famer, it’s the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Tua to Tyreek for SIX!

The Steelers greatly lacked another star wideout to complement George Pickens, who’s better suited as a No. 2 receiver. If Pittsburgh could add another explosive pass-catcher like Tyreek Hill, they’d be one step closer to Super Bowl contention.
It remains to be seen who will start behind center for Pittsburgh next season. Whether it’s Russell Wilson, Justin Fields or somebody who isn’t on the roster right now, the Steelers won’t realistically contend with the top AFC heavyweights unless they add another game-changing receiver.
Though Hill has been a top-five receiver for almost a decade now, his hefty contract and age (31 in March) mean Miami won’t get anything close to what they gave up to the Kansas City Chiefs a year ago.
For the Steelers, a fair offer would be their 2025 second-round pick and a 2026 fourth-round pick for Hill. Miami can find a capable replacement in the receiver-heavy 2025 draft or target someone in free agency, with big names like Chris Godwin, Tee Higgins, Stefon Diggs and Amari Cooper potentially available.
