Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill caught the attention of the NFL community again ahead of Week 14.
Tyreek Hill has publicly contemplated retirement multiple times since joining the Miami Dolphins in 2022.
On December 4, he appeared to do so again on X, posting: “love what you do cause it will soon end ❤️.” With the following photo from Week 13 in Green Bay.
The message has already generated over 10,000 likes and 700,000 views in less than 24 hours. Although certain fans were quick to question whether Hill was “trolling” everyone again.
As noted above, it’s not the first time the superstar playmaker has talked retirement. In April of 2023, Hill told Sports Radio 810 WHB that he wanted to cap his career at 10 seasons during an interview (via SportsCenter). At the time, he was entering his eighth campaign in the NFL.
Later, in November of 2023, Hill told the “I AM ATHLETE” podcast that he would retire if the Dolphins don’t extend his contract — explaining that he has no interest picking up and moving again. He said this after walking back his initial 10-year career stance in July of 2023 following a conversation with his father.
Fast forward to May of 2024 and Hill claimed that he wanted to play for the Dolphins “until the wheels fall off” while speaking with the “Around The Bar” podcast.
Now Hill is nearing the end of his ninth season in the league in December of 2024, and he’s having a down year with just 654 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns through his first 12 starts. Hill also claimed that he’s been battling a “torn ligament” in his wrist for the entire 2024 campaign, and Miami’s playoff hopes are bleak with a 5-7 record entering Week 14.
