The Las Vegas Raiders appear close to trading star wide receiver Davante Adams. Could the Miami Dolphins, who have limped out to a 1-3 start to their season, be inclined to do the same?
Chatter of the possibility started this week after the Kansas City Chiefs lost Rashee Rice to the injured reserve, leaving Hill’s former team pretty light at the wide receiver position. Hill stoked the flames with a cryptic post on social media too.

But on Thursday night, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport slammed the door shut on any talks of a deal involving Hill.
“No, Tyreek Hill is not getting traded,” Rapoport said definitively on The Insiders. “I never say never in the NFL. I feel pretty comfortable saying never-ish on this one.
“First of all, they just signed him to that new deal … the cap hit would be astronomical. The other thing is, yes, I know the Dolphins this year are not having the greatest season of all-time. I’m not sure it’s going to turn around even when Tua Tagovailoa comes back in the lineup, although I guess anything is possible. They didn’t sign Tyreek Hill for this year. They signed him for this year, the next year, and the year after, and the year after.”
Hill, 30, also made it clear Wednesday that he has no intention of trying to get out of Miami.
“We’ve got a beautiful team here and I want to be a part of it,” Hill said. “Obviously, my parents always taught me control the controllables, and I only can control so much. So with that being said, we all know the NFL is a business. Whatever happens, happens. Moving forward, I would love to be here. I love being here.”
So what was that cryptic post about? That was just Tyreek being Tyreek.
I love trolling you nut cases 😂😂

Hill is in the midst of one of the worst stretches of his career with only 87 receiving yards across the last three games. He was also seen yelling on the Miami sideline, although he later explained that he wasn’t mad and was “just motivating teammates.”
While times are tough for the Dolphins and they may be inclined to sell off some players closer to the trade deadline if their slide continues, it seems Hill isn’t one hitting the block any time soon.
