Drew Rosenhaus, agent for Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill, has squashed trade speculation surrounding his client. The revelation comes days after Hill’s controversial departure during the season-ending loss to the New York Jets.
Hill, an eight-time Pro Bowl wide receiver, sparked trade rumors after withdrawing from Sunday’s game. His actions followed a frustrating season in which he posted career-low numbers with just 81 receptions 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 fight against the Commanders in training camp. He wasn’t going to miss the season and wanted to play. He is committed to the Miami Dolphins and had a great meeting with Chris Grier and Mike McDaniel.” Rosenhaus said.

The impact of the wrist injury was evident in Tyreek Hill’s production. His 959 receiving yards marked his lowest production in a full season since his rookie year in 2016 with Kansas City. This followed two consecutive 1,700-yard seasons in Miami.
Agent says Tyreek Hill was excited
Rosenhaus addressed Hill’s emotional outburst after Sunday’s game, where the catcher had stated, “I’m out, bro. It was great playing here, but at the end of the day, I have to do what’s best for my career.”
“Tyreek Hill was excited after the game and the Dolphins guys know he’s a great competitor. We represent thirteen guys on this team and none of them have a complaint about Tyreek,” Rosenhaus emphasized.
Dolphins general manager Chris Grier confirmed that Hill has not requested a trade. Head coach Mike McDaniel met with Hill for an hour to address his departure from the game;
“I was very direct with him … that it is not acceptable to abandon a game and will not be tolerated in the future, and he accepted responsibility,” McDaniel said.
The situation reflects growing pressure on Hill, who signed a three-year, $90 million extension ahead of the 2024 season. His contract includes $59 million in guaranteed money and carries major salary cap implications: $28.7 million in 2025 and $51.9 million in 2026.
To add context to Hill’s woes, quarterback Tagovailoa saw limited action due to a concussion and hip injuries. This left the receiver working with backup quarterbacks Tyler Huntley and Skylar Thompson for much of the season.
