Since coming to the Miami Dolphins two years ago, wide receiver Tyreek Hill has transformed them from a mediocre squad into a legitimate playoff team.
He has put up outstanding numbers during that time, and he is in the discussion for being arguably the best wideout in the NFL today.
Upon arriving in Miami, Hill signed a four-year, $120 million contract, and while he has two years left on it, there has been some talk that he wants a pay raise, especially given how much the wide receiver market has exploded lately across the league.
But he says that right now, he’s focused on helping the Dolphins win rather than his own contract situation, per FinsXtra.

Hill already put up stellar numbers when he was with the Kansas City Chiefs during his first six pro seasons, but in both of the last two years, he has gone over 1,700 receiving yards.
Last season, he led the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards and 13 receiving touchdowns, and had it not been for an ankle injury late in the schedule, he could’ve threatened Calvin Johnson’s all-time single-season record for most receiving yards.
In 2023, the Dolphins went 11-6, which was their best record since 2008, and they had arguably the best and most explosive offense in all of football.
However, critics charged that they were nothing more than a fraudulent team because of their inability to defeat teams with winning records.
Miami hasn’t won a playoff game since the 2000 season, so winning the Super Bowl championship this season may be too steep of a climb for them, but their long-suffering fan base would likely be delighted if the team at least reaches the AFC Championship Game.
