Dolphins' Chris Grier leaves the door open for a Tyreek Hill trade

   

They didn't give him a vote of confidence.

Tyreek Hill is so quick that he can avoid defenders by stopping on a dime. Chris Grier and Mike McDaniel are just as fast at deflecting answers regarding Hill's outburst after their Week 18 loss.

Hill said he was done in Miami and wanted out, and he has yet to backtrack on those comments. Grier and McDaniel both met with the media this week, and neither said Hill would be a part of the team in 2025.

They had the opportunity to de-escalate the situation by saying they intended to have Hill on the roster next year, but they did not. Grier said twice that he and McDaniel had productive conversations with Hill but intended to keep that between them.

A reporter asked Grier directly if Hill backtracked on his comments, and he gave a frustrating answer.

"No, I would say, but he never asked for a trade with me," Grier said.

He may not have specifically requested a trade, but his comments clearly showed he wanted one. McDaniel also fielded questions about Hill, and he took the same road, being careful not to discuss what they spoke about.

Are the Dolphins going to keep Tyreek Hill for the 2025 season?

This is a hard one to predict, but given the circumstances of Hill's comments and the quick-stepping answers from McDaniel and Grier, it seems the likelihood of him staying is pointing south.
