Drew Rosenhaus, agent for Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill, has squashed trade speculation surrounding his client. The revelation comes days after Hill's controversial exit during the season-ending loss to the New York Jets.

Hill, an eight-time Pro Bowl wide receiver, sparked trade rumors after removing himself from Sunday's game. His actions followed a frustrating season where he posted career-low numbers with just 81 catches for 959 yards.

Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show on January 9, 2025, Rosenhaus revealed previously unknown details about Hill's commitment to the Dolphins;

"Tyreek Hill broke his wrist in a scrimmage against the Commanders in Training Camp. He wasn't gonna miss the season & he wanted to play. He's committed to the Miami Dolphins & he had an excellent meeting with Chris Grier & Mike McDaniel," said Rosenhaus.

The wrist injury's impact became evident in Tyreek Hill's production. His 959 receiving yards marked his lowest output in a full season since his 2016 rookie year with Kansas City. This followed two consecutive 1,700-yard campaigns in Miami.

Rosenhaus addressed Hill's emotional outburst after Sunday's game, where the receiver had stated, "I'm out, bro. It was great playing here, but at the end of the day, I got to do what's best for my career."

"Tyreek Hill was emotional after the game & the guys on the Dolphins know he's a great competitor. We represent thirteen guys on this team & not one of them has a complaint about Tyreek," Rosenhaus emphasized.

Dolphins GM Chris Grier confirmed Hill hasn't requested a trade. Head coach Mike McDaniel met with Hill for an hour to address his game exit;

"I was very direct with him... that it's not acceptable to leave a game and won't be tolerated in the future, and he embraced accountability," McDaniel said.

The situation reflects the mounting pressure on Hill, who signed a three-year, $90 million extension before the 2024 season. His contract includes $59 million in guaranteed money and carries significant salary cap implications - $28.7 million in 2025 and $51.9 million in 2026.

Adding context to Hill's struggles, quarterback Tagovailoa had limited action due to concussion and hip injuries. This left the receiver working with backup quarterbacks Tyler Huntley and Skylar Thompson for much of the season.
