Over the past couple of weeks, Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been very active on social media, being very open about his feelings for the organization and its decision-making. After yesterday’s loss to the Bengals, he was as witty as ever in his criticism of the team.
Responding to the team’s 45-21 loss, Hill posted a popular meme from The Office, expressing his discontent.
This is not the first time Hill has turned to social media and a hefty usage of memes to voice his opinions on the state of the team. After the Dolphins benched Tua Tagovailoa in favor of rookie QB Quinn Ewers, Hill posted yet another cryptic meme quite similar to yesterday’s.
There have been several rumors of the potential release of Hill by the Dolphins, and Hill has suggested as much in recent interviews. Still, Hill has walked by the comments, leading many to believe he could let the chips fall where they may.
“This is my first time I haven’t been in the playoffs,” he said of the situation. “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. It was great playing here, but at the end of the day, bro, I got to do what’s best for my career. I’m too much of a competitor to be just out there.”
While Hill has been such an integral part of the Dolphins’ success over the past few years, the decision to release could depend on the changes the Dolphins could decide to make in the offseason. That could start with the decision concerning head coach Mike Mcdaniel and whether or not the Fins decide to retain him.
Another determining factor could be the significant season-ending knee injury he sustained early in the season. After only playing in four games this season, chances are the Dolphins won’t be willing to take a risk on the receiver, especially as he gets upwards of 30 years old.
Cutting ties with Hill could also help the Dolphins shift Tua as well. Should the Dolphins decide to release Hill, they would save 23.65 million dollars in cap space and could potentially see that number improve to 36 million dollars if they designate him as a post-June 1st release. That could offset the dead money charges they would incur with Tua’s release.
The question that these recent meme posts by Hill could raise is also one that could determine his future. While Hill hasn’t really mentioned retirement after this season, these posts could pose a broader mindset. While it may just be disillusionment with the franchise or just fun joking at his team’s expense, Hill could potentially have a lot of interesting options on the table in 2026.
The Dolphins could help expedite Hill’s decision-making process, but should they release him, chances are that Hill may make a decision no one truly seems coming.
