💣 Tyreek Hill DROPS BOMBSHELL on Steelers Pursuit — “It’s Not About the Money… I Said I’d Play for $35M and Still Didn’t Want Pittsburgh”
The NFL offseason just turned explosive — and Tyreek Hill is the one lighting the fuse.
In a stunning interview that’s already shaking up social media, the Miami Dolphins’ superstar wide receiver called out multiple teams for chasing him with big-money offers — but none caught more attention than his pointed rejection of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
🗣️ “I told every team it’s not about the money,” Hill said.
“I said I’d play for $35 million and still didn’t want to go to Pittsburgh.”
😳 “Did He Just Say That About the Steelers?!”
Steelers fans are outraged. NFL insiders are baffled.
And Twitter/X is absolutely melting down.
-
“Is this real life?”
-
“You’d turn down $35 million just to avoid the black & gold?”
-
“This is more than disrespect — it’s personal.”
🧨 What’s Behind the Snub?
Hill didn’t hold back. When asked why he ruled out Pittsburgh, he answered with a smirk:
“Legacy matters. Vibe matters. I respect the Steelers’ history — but I’m not tryna live in it. I’m building something new.”
Boom.
🧠 NFL World REACTS: Petty? Honest? Or Just Tyreek Being Tyreek?
Players, analysts, and fans are split down the middle:
-
Shannon Sharpe: “This is modern-day truth. Hill’s saying what a lot of players think but won’t admit.”
-
Pat McAfee: “The disrespect is real, bro. This one’s gonna sting in Pittsburgh for years.”
-
Darius Slay (via X): “Bruh 😭 not the Steelers catchin’ a stray like that.”
Meanwhile, Steelers fans are flooding social media with replies like:
-
“We don’t want him anyway.”
-
“Mike Tomlin deserves better than this disrespect.”
-
“You chose the Dolphins over greatness. Enough said.”
🔥 Not Just About Football
Hill’s comments touch on deeper trends in today’s NFL:

A shift away from “old-school prestige” toward “new-age legacy”

📉 Steelers Front Office: Silent So Far
No official response yet from Pittsburgh — but sources say the organization was “blindsided” by the comment, especially given their quiet efforts to pursue Hill in earlier trade talks.
One insider:
“He was never seriously in play for us. But this feels like a shot just for the headlines.”
