A blockbuster draft day trade proposal has the Dallas Cowboys acquiring All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill in a move that would cement them as Super Bowl contenders.
Tyreek Hill has dropped hints about wanting to leave the Miami Dolphins, starting with his memorable, “I’m out, bro” to reporters after the team’s regular-season finale against the New York Jets. Not to mention his interesting social media activity last week:
The 31-year-old Hill is signed through 2026 but is coming off by far the most disappointing season of his career. Hill caught 81 passes for 959 yards and six touchdowns, a far drop-off in production after leading the NFL with 1,799 yards and 13 receiving scores on 119 catches the year prior.
Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton recently proposed five blockbuster draft day trades involving Miami’s superstar wide receiver. In one scenario, the Dolphins would trade Hill and the No. 156 pick to the Cowboys in exchange for the No. 44 pick and a 2026 fourth-rounder:
“Cowboys owner Jerry Jones can make a bold move to help out his most valuable player in the short term. Prescott is coming off a shortened campaign because of a hamstring injury, and he could bounce back in a big way with a dynamic receiver duo that features CeeDee Lamb and Hill…
Last year, Jalen Tolbert made strides as the Cowboys’ No. 2 receiver with backup quarterback Cooper Rush under center for eight starts, catching 49 passes for 610 yards and seven touchdowns.
However, Tolbert isn’t on the same tier as Hill, who’s still a dynamic deep threat. With this addition, Prescott can post MVP-level passing numbers and be the runaway favorite to win 2025 Comeback Player of the Year.”
The Cowboys have been searching for a capable No. 2 receiver since trading perennial Pro Bowler Amari Cooper to the Cleveland Browns in 2022. Michael Gallup and Brandin Cooks never fulfilled the role, and as Moton noted, Jalen Tolbert isn’t a game-changer like Hill.
Cowboys Should Target Tyreek Hill If The Price Is Right

Jerry Jones talked about going “all-in” a year ago but never followed through with that promise. Trading for a player of Tyreek Hill’s caliber, however, would certainly qualify as an “all-in” move.
Even if Hill isn’t in his prime anymore, he would still be a game-wrecking No. 2 receiver to complement CeeDee Lamb. And with the Cowboys featuring an explosive offense under Dak Prescott, there’s no reason Hill can’t push for 1,000 yards again.
So if Miami sets a reasonable price on Hill in the trade market, Jones and the Cowboys need to seriously pursue it.
