Dolphins must get rid of ‘toxic’ Tyreek Hill and admit Mike McDaniel made a huge $120 million mistake
Tyreek Hill was worth the trouble when he was Patrick Mahomes’ favorite target and a Super Bowl champion. But it’s been six long years since Hill was at his NFL peak with the Kansas City Chiefs, and the biggest diva in football is now a draft-day trade waiting to happen. GettyTyreek Hill has declined on the field but constantly been in the news[/caption] This is the perfect time for the going-nowhere Miami Dolphins to get rid of the toxic Hill, especially if they want to salvage the remainder of Tua Tagovailoa’s widely uneven career. “I became stressed. Like, we have to have him,” Miami head coach Mike McDaniel said in 2022, when he learned that Hill was available via trade.
