NFL analyst issues strong take to teams targeting Dolphins’ Tyreek Hill originally appeared on The Sporting News

The Miami Dolphins started the 2025 NFL season with a disappointing 33-8 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on September 7 at Lucas Oil Stadium. Former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones dominated Miami’s defense in the lopsided contest.

Miami’s offense had trouble getting going, as Tua Tagovailoa completed 14 of 23 passes for 114 yards, passing for one touchdown and two interceptions. Tyreek Hill led the receiving corps with four catches for 40 yards.

If Week 1 is an indication of what’s to come for the Dolphins, the front office would be well served to trade him. Nonetheless, the question is, what team will take the player?

CBS Sports NFL analyst Ran Carthon issued a warning to teams considering a trade for Hill, noting that the wide receiver has shown discontent in multiple stops.

“I think the problem that you’re going to have is who’s going to take on this contract?” Carthon said on “CBS Sports HQ.” “Who’s going to take on the contract, and who’s going to give the Dolphins the compensation that they will require to move Tyreek? Here’s what I want to say about Tyreek Hill and his displeasure in Miami.

“Tyreek Hill was also unhappy in Kansas City, and they were winning championships and had the makings of a team that became a dynasty, and he was unhappy there. He comes to Miami, and he got what he coveted it, which was a big extension, and at one point was the highest paid player at his position, and then now you’re unhappy again.

Carthon continued that in both of Hill’s NFL stops, he has been the common factor in his unhappiness, and whether the team is winning or losing doesn’t seem to make a difference.

“So it doesn’t matter where you send him or whatever the case may be, Tyreek is just going to be unhappy because in both of those situations, he’s the common denominator,” Carthon added. “So this is more of a Tyreek Hill problem than I think a Miami Dolphins.”
