In Tyreek Hill, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel now has his Deebo Samuel, the multi-talented receiver/running back he coached with the 49ers.
“Tua is one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the NFL,” Hill said. “Maybe even a race, man,” Hill said. “He just said, ‘Just gear up, ‘Reek,’” Hill said of McDaniel. “I’ll just say this: the way he utilized Deebo Samuel in that offense was crazy, right? “The person who taught me that was my mom and dad,” Hill said. The Hill acquisition wasn’t made by the Dolphins in a vacuum. “We talked to Mike McDaniel beforehand and Chris (GM Chris Grier) about what his role would be and just looking at Deebo Samuel’s role,” Rosenhaus said. “I almost teared up (at the Dolphins’ offer). Just having that moment, my agent wanted me to kiss him in the mouth. Seated right in front of him, Mom responded by telling him to do his best. Because if you don’t got the swagger, you don’t got none of that.” Because look — dropped passes and getting hit hard, you’ve got to have the swagger, my dawg. "C'mon, that’s what I do, baby,” he said. — all you had to do was listen for as long as that bathroom break.

Miami Dolphins acquired Tyreek Hill and Terron Armstead in the blink of an eye. But were they the right moves?
And I think Tua is a little bit like Kyler Murray. Like I think that there is an issue with getting your intermediate targets the ball. So now you have basically the fastest receiver tandem, probably in the history of the NFL. And you have a very unique quarterback situation to go with it. Teams are just basically going to—to borrow an NBA term—full-court press the Dolphins and be in their face on every down. How is this any different than the worst years of the Raiders in terms of how they viewed their roster construction? So now your owner allows you to go out and do crazy stuff again, basically use the shadow of the Deshaun Watson trade to be able to acquire Tyreek Hill consequence-free in the media this week. It’s such a luxury and you’re taking someone that basically was created by Patrick Mahomes in this offense and hoping that it can work with Tua Tagovailoa, who I agree, Rohan, I don’t think the book is completely out on yet—unlike Gary. But this is not what you need. There was an impasse with contract talks with the Chiefs, and we’ll get to this really wild wide-receiver market in just a moment. I do think people are talking about the downfield passing game—does Tua have the arm strength? Because they have Jaylen Waddle, who in a lot of ways, is very similar to him. But yeah, the Dolphins are basically giving him the contract and also giving up the draft compensation that includes, a 2022 first-round pick, a second-round pick, some other stuff, a lot of draft picks, you know how it goes. And it just so happens that once again, just like in ’72, just like in ’84, just like when Ricky Williams ran for 1,800 yards, the Dolphins are once again the center of the football universe. Who should be the starting quarterback for the Dolphins, anyway?
Terron Armstead was introduced by the Dolphins on Thursday alongside wide receiver Tyreek Hill, capping off a busy week in which Miami added both players ...
"(The Dolphins) definitely want to put all the right pieces around the quarterback," Hill said. I definitely had one of those moments where I had to get in my car and just drive and think about the moments I had in KC ... I even had a conversation with Pat (Mahomes), that's my brother for life. "Once you go to the playoffs, the game is definitely at a different speed -- you've got to play at a different level," Hill said. It's a tough job, it's a tough position," Armstead said. "The feelings start to change. "It's tough (to leave Kansas City) but when somebody comes to you with a lot of money, it changes," Hill said with a smile.
The Rams aren't afraid to trade draft picks for proven players. They've shown that by acquiring Jalen Ramsey, Matthew Stafford and Von Miller, among others.
“Just like they say on the Rams. F them picks, man. F them picks.” pic.twitter.com/JyXU9oll0X The Dolphins aren’t afraid to part with picks, either.
What a way to kickoff a Wednesday. Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport broke Twitter on Wednesday morning by announcing that Kansas City Chiefs All Pro wide ...
They also have to two highest paid quarterbacks in the NFL and were extending massive contract to their top, young wide receivers. These are supposed to be two of the model franchises in the NFL. I mean, Hill plays in one of the best offenses in the NFL, with one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, but he wants out.
Miami's active offseason continues with a blockbuster trade that brings in three-time first-team All-Pro and six-time Pro Bowl selection Tyreek Hill.
His 67 visits to paydirt are the third-most for a player in his first 91 contests all-time and the third-most touchdowns in the NFL since the start of the 2016 season (Todd Gurley, Derrick Henry). In 2016, Hill had the fastest, second-fastest and 20th-fastest miles per hour in the league. Hill scored a 9.39 in the Relative Athletic Scorecard with elite scores (90th percentile or better) in 40-time, 20-split, 10-split, short shuttle, three-cone, vertical and broad jump. Since 2016, Hill has appeared in the NFL's top 10 fastest top-speeds every year except 2019. "He's really evolved his game, and at the end of the day, whenever he gets into those man coverage situations ... you can always hit him over the top for touchdowns." Enter Tyreek Hill, who's 28 touchdowns on throws of 20-or-more yards since 2016 are the most in the NFL. His video game production has him in the pantheon of all-time receiver ranks to begin a career. He's racked up 2,919 yards after the catch in his six-year career. Hill does it from all over the formation, too. He's added 719 yards and six touchdowns on the ground. Hill is one of the most productive receivers in NFL history. Six years a pro, six trips to the NFL's annual all-star game.
Following the trade to the Miami Dolphins, Tyreek Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, explains what happened with his client's abrupt departure from Kansas City.
The Chiefs, I think they had the foresight to see that Tyreek was in the last year of his contract and we weren't going to take a deal that wasn't better than Adams'. So they recognized that this would probably be their last year with Tyreek and this was their opportunity to rebuild at that position. "The bottom line is he was in the last year of his contract -- we had actually worked out a restructure that the Chiefs wanted just a week before," Rosenhaus reiterated. "At the end of the season, I started a conversation with the Chiefs on a new contract extension, and it really was heading in the direction of slowly but surely working out a new deal for Tyreek," Rosenhaus said.
Oh, what a day am I right? I really wanted to have a boring day of just sifting through stuff written about the Dolphins signing Terron Armstead on Tuesday ...
There are many reasons why trading for Tyreek hill is friggin awesome but I’m going to lay out the top five that I can think of. Well, don’t have to worry about that now do we? I really wanted to have a boring day of just sifting through stuff written about the Dolphins signing Terron Armstead on Tuesday night.
