Ravens Get: WR Tyreek Hill

Dolphins Get: 2025 2nd-round pick

Following a loss to the Miami Dolphins, Tyreek Hill said something that went viral.

“This is my first time I haven’t been in the playoffs,” Hill told reporters. “I just gotta do what’s best for me and my family. If that’s here or wherever the case may be, I’m finna open that door for myself. I’m opening the door. I’m out, bro.”

With those comments, Hill opened the door for speculation. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, provided some context to quell the trade chatter.

“Tyreek is very passionate,” Rosenhaus said. “Anyone I’ve ever represented that was great was passionate, they cared. What you see with Tyreek is very genuine. He wants to win. It’s not good enough for him not to make the playoffs. He’s very passionate.”

Even if Hill is genuinely committed to the Dolphins, team brass should be concerned about his mindset if Miami struggles through another season.

While the Dolphins may not say it publicly, they should gauge Hill’s trade market value.

In 2024, Hill caught 81 passes for 959 yards and six touchdowns, his lowest total in each receiving category since 2019, when he missed four games.

That said, Hill played through the entire campaign with a torn ligament in his wrist, which limited his explosive playmaking ability. Even at 30 years old, he has uncanny speed and can change the complexion of an offense as an elite deep threat.

If the Dolphins prefer to move on from Hill rather than keep him with the chance that he eventually requests a trade, they could demand a second-round pick for him. If healthy, Hill is still one of the league’s best receivers.

In recent years, the Baltimore Ravens have been aggressive on the trade market. If the Ravens fall short of a Super Bowl appearance, they could be a strong suitor for a receiver on the trade market.

Wide receivers Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman posted career-high receiving numbers in multiple categories, but they aren’t on the same tier as Hill in playmaking ability.

If the Ravens open the 2025 season with Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry and Hill, they would have arguably the league’s best quarterback-tailback-receiver trio.
