The Miami Dolphins made noise last week by offering WR Jaylen Waddle a massive contract extension. Now, the Minnesota Vikings have just followed suit by offering WR Justin Jefferson a historic contract extension.
Because of this, more eyes are on Tyreek Hill to see if he gets offered a new deal this offseason by the Dolphins. Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has hinted where Hill stands on this. Read below to find out more.
Drew Rosenhaus Says Miami Dolphins “Know How We Feel”
This morning, Drew Rosenhaus spoke to Josh Moser in an interview. During the interview, Moser asked Rosenhaus more about the current negotiations going on between Hill and the Dolphins. Here is what Rosenhaus had to say on the subject:
“I have a fluid line of communication with Chris Grier (Miami Dolphins GM) and Brandon Shore (Miami Dolphins VP) … the Dolphins know how we feel.” -Drew Rosenhaus
Tyreek Hill and Other Wide Receivers
When Hill signed his first contract with the Dolphins, he reset the wide receiver market by making $30 million annually. However, since then, the salary cap has increased by 13.8%. In other words, Hill would be worth nearly $37 million annually had he signed a similar contract today.
Because of this, Hill’s group can’t help but look at what other wide receivers are getting paid. Last week, Hill’s teammate, Jaylen Waddle, received a three-year extension worth nearly $85 million.
Then, there is Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings. This morning, he became the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL. Jefferson is set to receive $140 million over four years.
While these wide receivers are elite, Hill is arguably the best in the NFL. In 2023, Hill had 119 receptions, 1,799 receiving yards, and 13 touchdown receptions.
Miami Dolphins Moving Forward
So, what will the Dolphins do now? With the contract extensions mentioned above, there will certainly be some external pressure to come up with a new deal for Tyreek Hill. However, Hill stands to make the most money in the final year of his current contract in 2026.
If things end up souring between Hill and the Dolphins, Miami has a potential out in 2025. If the Dolphins opt out in 2025, it would be a dead cap hit of over $22 million. However, considering the Dolphins arguably had the best offense in the NFL last season, most people would assume the team will do everything they can to keep the core players in the offensive unit together.
