Many Miami Dolphins players shrugged off Tyreek Hill’s comments about leaving the team, but a few weren’t quite as forgiving.
“It’s disappointing, for sure,” Dolphins pass rusher Bradley Chubb, who missed the entire 2024 season, told reporters in the locker room Monday, via WPBF. “At the end of the day, you’ve just got to move on with the guys that want to be here.”

“I’m upset that things were shared the way they were,” Dolphins fullback Alec Ingold said. “But at the end of the day, I have a lot of respect for him. … A lot of guys were emotional after the game, so I’m going to take that with a grain of salt.”
In the time since Hill told reporters that he’s “opening the door” to leave the Dolphins, he’s given little indication that he’s second-thinking his comments.
On Monday, the receiver changed his profile picture on X to an image of his head superimposed on the body of Antonio Brown, who famously quit playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the middle of a game.

Hill, who finished the 2024 season with 959 yards and six touchdowns, has since changed his profile picture back to a photo of himself in a Dolphins uniform.

Barring a restructure or forfeiture of guaranteed money, releasing Hill would cause a significant spike in the receiver’s salary cap hit for the 2025 season. However, the Dolphins could save about $15 million by trading Hill after the start of June.
