In a surprising turn of events, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has made a bold statement regarding the potential addition of Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett to the Dolphins roster. Hill’s comments came in response to Garrett’s recent trade request, which has sent shockwaves throughout the NFL.
Myles Garrett, a four-time All-Pro defensive end, publicly expressed his desire to be traded from the Cleveland Browns, citing a strong desire to compete at the highest level and win championships. This move has sparked interest from several teams, with the Dolphins being considered as a potential suitor due to their history of making big moves for marquee players like Tyreek Hill and Jalen Ramsey1.
During an interview, Tyreek Hill enthusiastically endorsed the idea of adding Garrett to the Dolphins’ roster. Hill emphasized that having elite defensive players like Garrett would significantly enhance the team’s overall performance, as opponents would struggle to score against such a formidable defense.
“I’m all for adding really good football players to my roster,” Hill stated. “That makes my job as an offense easier, because you don’t score as many points when you have a guy like Myles Garrett on the other side,” he added.
In a lighthearted yet sincere appeal, Hill directly addressed Garrett, saying, “Hey Myles, if you join the Dolphins, I will make sure to throw a touchdown pass to myself just to see how you react on the sidelines.”
While the idea of pairing Garrett with the Dolphins’ existing talent is intriguing, it poses significant financial challenges. Garrett’s contract includes substantial cap hits, and the Dolphins are currently salary-cap strapped6. The team would need to navigate these costs while also considering contract extensions for key players.
Conclusion
Tyreek Hill’s bold claim underscores the Dolphins’ eagerness to bolster their defense with elite talent. While the financial and logistical hurdles are substantial, the prospect of Garrett joining the Dolphins could significantly enhance their chances of competing in the AFC East. As the NFL offseason unfolds, fans will be watching closely to see if this ambitious move becomes a reality.
