Well, this won’t do much to dispel the rumblings that there’s an unhappy receiver in Miami.
Star Dolphins wideout Tyreek Hill raised eyebrows this week after naming his top five quarterbacks in the league without mention of his own signal-caller, Tua Tagovailoa.
Upon being asked by a fan to name his top quarterbacks, Hill shouted out the Ravens’ Lamar Jackson, the Bills’ Josh Allen, the Buccaneers’ Baker Mayfield, the Bengals’ Joe Burrow and his former Chiefs teammate, Patrick Mahomes, in no specific order in the clip currently circulating on social media.
The omission of Tagovailoa is curious given the quarterback made the cut on Hill’s previous list shared last summer.
Allen and Burrow are the newest additions to Hill’s 2025 QB ranks, taking slots previously occupied by Tagovailoa and Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.
The release of the list followed an 8-9 Dolphins campaign that saw Tagovailoa miss time due to a concussion and hip injury.
Hill, who failed to surpass 1,000 receiving yards last season for the first time since 2019, then stirred buzz following a Week 18 loss to the Jets by telling reporters, “I’m out.”
He attempted to clear the air weeks later by declaring Tagovailoa “is my guy.”
“He understands my frustration. We all want to win. Tua, he’s another competitor, he’s a hell of a competitor, a lot of people don’t know that. He’s a winner, he’s consistent, so I’m looking forward to us continuing to build our relationship. And this is my public apology tour. I love you, bro,” Hill said during a February appearance on “Up & Adams.”
However, those comments didn’t stop Dolphins brass from being asked about the possibility of moving Hill, now weeks removed from a domestic disturbance involving his spouse, who has filed for divorce.
“That is not anything that we’re pursuing,” Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said before the 2025 NFL Draft in April.
Hill has caught passes from Tagovailoa for the past three seasons.
He was traded by the Chiefs in 2022 and signed a four-year, $120 million extension with the Dolphins.
The 2024 season marked the first time Hill missed the playoffs.
