Earlier this week, I asked:
Should our Miami Dolphins trade Tyreek Hill this offseason, and if so or not, why?
I also had a poll in which I asked:
Should the Miami Dolphins trade Tyreek Hill this offseason?
Below are the results-
Below are some of your thoughts and answers to the PQOTD-
sdphinsfan says it depends on your end goal.
In a world where you’re trying to build a roster to win football games, lots of games against good and bad teams, yes, you trade him. In a world where you’re building an entertainment product, no. He can do things with the ball in his hands that not many others can. That draws eyeballs and entertains fans.
Note: If he’s traded to the Bills for anything less than Josh Allen, somebody needs to be arrested, investigated, tried, and convicted.
FinsRegard is against trading him as he does carry the offense.
Hill had 2 great seasons here.Last year it was said his wrist was hurt, kept playing .Hill leaves and now Waddle or Smith is double teamed? When the Dolphins got Hill I could not believe it , unlike Suh Hill produced at the very highest level.Is it logical that with Miami not having won a playoff game for 25 years it would trade its best player, a player who carried the offense for 2 seasons?Hill was a star in KC and here in Miami to the point the camera followed him during the game.
Dolfanjoe is correct about the financial ramifications. Even if they trade him next season, they would be wise to make him a post-June 1st cut.
To trade Hill this season means we are going to eat a whole bunch of money. Next year not so much ! What is his value to a team needing a speed wide out who can make a difference ? And of course getting good trade value for him still means we have to replace him with something. Keep Hill unless the trade is just incredible ! Put a better running game on the field and it will open back up our passing game. Wow basic football, who ‘da thunk it !
EJPLAYA says no because he carries a giant dead money hit this season. Per OTC, if he were traded before June 1st, the dead money would be $28,297,500 (almost 600K more than his cap hit otherwise). A post-June 1st trade would result in $12,728,750 in dead money and a savings against the cap of $14,970,000. The numbers get much better next off-season for both scenarios. Fifty-six million dollars in dead money would only apply if he were to be cut before June 1st.
