General manager Chris Grier isn’t the most popular figure among Miami Dolphins fans. Mediocre draft results and lackluster free agency decisions already had many frustrated, and the team’s 2-3 start to the 2024 season only fanned the flames.
It seems Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill thinks Grier can’t win with fans, no matter what he does:
He could go sign Aaron Donald right now yall would fault him and say bro washed 😂😂

While Hill doesn’t name Grier, specifically, it’s not too hard to read between the lines. The receiver is seemingly saying that even if the Dolphins signed future Hall of Fame defensive tackle Aaron Donald, fans would criticize the decision.
The Dolphins have finished with four consecutive winning records and earned a spot in the playoffs in the last two seasons. However, it’s not hard to find faults in Grier’s recent decisions.
None of the team’s 2022 draft picks are contributing at all in 2024, and running back De’Von Achane is the Dolphins’ only draft pick from 2023 who has seen the field this year. Miami also finds itself with an anemic pass rush and is missing the contributions of Andrew Van Ginkel, who was allowed to leave the roster in free agency.
Perhaps the criticism of Grier is sometimes overblown, as Hill said. But there’s no lack of reasons for fans’ frustrations.
