Miami Dolphins’ Tyreek Hill, while observing the recent upticks in wide receiver salaries, expressed contentment with his current situation and an optimistic outlook towards future contract negotiations. Hill, who is entering the second year of his four-year, $120 million deal in 2024, acknowledged the reset in market standards following Justin Jefferson’s groundbreaking deal, yet remained focused on team success and a potential Super Bowl victory.
“I’m very happy with the position I’m in now,” Hill remarked on ESPN Sunday, quoted by Omar Kelly from the Miami Herald. “I believe when it’s time for my new deal, the Dolphins will handle it appropriately. Right now, I’m just focused on helping the team win the Super Bowl.”
Entering his ninth season, Hill isn’t letting financial matters distract him. “Money is the least of our worries,” he said, emphasizing the importance of team and fan community bonds over personal gain. However, the evolving financial landscape for receivers like Jefferson, who recently set a new high with a $35 million annual contract, has Hill intrigued about his future.
“I’m excited to see where I stand in all this,” Hill shared with KPRC 2 in Houston, also celebrating his teammate Jaylen Waddle’s new contract.
With salaries climbing this offseason — Jefferson at $35 million, A.J. Brown at $32 million, and Amon-Ra St.
Brown just a notch above Hill at $30.002 million per year — Hill now ranks fourth among the NFL’s highest-paid receivers. The 29-year-old wide receiver might soon find himself back at the negotiating table, particularly as the Dolphins could look to manage salary caps of $34.2 million in 2025 and $56.3 million in 2026 more efficiently.
Hill’s outstanding performance, leading the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns last season, continues to make a strong case for a lucrative re-signing. Over the past two seasons, he’s topped the league in receiving yards with 3,509 and remained a dominant force in the Dolphins’ offensive strategy.
As contracts like CeeDee Lamb’s and Ja’Marr Chase’s pending negotiations potentially push the market further, Hill’s patience could see him topping his position’s pay scale yet again. With one more year of guaranteed money on his current deal, the timing might align perfectly for both Hill and the Dolphins to strike a mutually beneficial new agreement.
