\u201cTua is my guy and always will be my guy no matter what,\u201d Hill said. \u201cI\u2019m sure he understands my frustration. Like, we all want to win. Tua, he\u2019s another competitor, he\u2019s a hell of a competitor \u2014 a lot of people don\u2019t know that. He\u2019s a winner, he\u2019s consistent, so I\u2019m looking forward to just continuing to build that relationship even more. This is my public apology to you, Tua. I love you, bro. <\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 They [teammates] know I\u2019m not that kind of player. A lot of people may say, \u2018Oh, Reek is a hothead, he\u2019s this, he\u2019s that.\u2019 But all my teammates know, like I come to work every day, I bust my tail, I show up to meetings on time and I do what I gotta do.\u201d <\/p>\n

Tyreek Hill\u2019s Week 18 postgame comments revisited<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s what Hill had to say after the season-ending loss to New York: \u201cI\u2019m out, bruh. It was great playing here, but at the end of the day, I have to do what\u2019s best for my career.\u201d He\u2019s since clarified his comments, which he said were born out of frustration in the moment. General manager Chris Grier<\/strong> met with Hill after the season<\/a> and said the 30-year-old did not ask for a trade. <\/p>\n

Hill recalled a conversation with his mother, Virginia<\/strong>, in which she told him, \u201cWe don\u2019t handle our situations like that.\u201d Hill admitted he could have \u201chandled it better,\u201d while adding \u201ca lot of things need to be said sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving some conversations with my family, having some conversations with my mom because my mom is still in my life very heavy, she called me and was like, \u2018Baby boy, we don\u2019t handle our situations like that.\u2019 And in that moment, I\u2019m like, \u2018Chill, leave me alone, like I need you to be on my side. I need you here for me.\u2019 And it gave me some time to think about it like yes, I could have handled the situation better,\u201d Hill said. \u201cInstead of saying I\u2019m out, I could have obviously handled it better. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I wish did, but in the heat of the moment, I just said whatever I had to say and I\u2019m taking full accountability to that. I want to win, we wanna win, the fans wanna win. But I feel like a lot of things need to be said sometimes. So, it\u2019s tough right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tyreek Hill comments on future with Miami Dolphins<\/h2>\n

Hill, who led the NFL<\/a><\/strong> in receiving yards (1,799) and touchdowns in 2023 (13), saw his numbers plummet this past season. Playing through a wrist injury and without Tagovailoa for six games, Hill recorded 959 yards and six scores on 81 catches. His 56.4 receiving yards per game was his lowest average since his rookie season in 2016.<\/p>\n

Hill has two years remaining on the extension he signed with the Dolphins in 2022 after coming over via trade from the Kansas City Chiefs. In August 2024, Hill and the Dolphins agreed to a restructured contract. No years were added to the deal, but Hill\u2019s guaranteed money was bumped up to $106.5 million \u2014 the most fully guaranteed money for a wideout in NFL history.<\/p>\n

Hill intends to play out his contract in Miami. <\/p>\n

\u201cI do [want to be a Miami Dolphin], I don\u2019t want to go nowhere,\u201d Hill said. \u201cI love it, my family loves, kids absolutely love being on the beach every morning. So, it\u2019s an amazing thing. We are really building something special in Miami. We made it to the playoffs the first two years. Obviously, this year was hard but if guys continue to buy into what coach [Mike McDaniel<\/strong>] is building and the culture he\u2019s trying to build, it\u2019s gonna be a beautiful thing.\u201d <\/p>\n
