Tua Tagovailoa: Tyreek Hill ‘working’ on rebuilding relationship with Dolphins

Tyreek Hill’s stint with the Miami Dolphins has been anything but smooth, as he has faced issues both on and off the field, which have led to speculation that he could be traded.

Things have gotten so bad with the Dolphins that Hill needs to win over the coaching staff, teammates, and, namely, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The star quarterback, however, admits that Hill is well on his way to doing just that, via Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.

“It’s not just with me, it’s with a lot of the guys. I’m not the only one that heard that. You guys aren’t the only people that heard that,” Tagovailoa said. “A lot of people that follow football, that follow the Miami Dolphins, that follow Tyreek that are fans of his — everyone has seen that. So, when you say something like that, you don’t just come back from that with, ‘Hey, my bad.’ You got to work that relationship up; you’ve got to build everything back up again.

“He’s working on himself; he’s working on the things that he says he wants to get better with and do better on. So that’s the first step to me, and so I commend him for doing that.”

Clearly, Hill has left a bad taste in the mouths of the Dolphins brass and its players, but he seems up to the task of winning everyone over and getting this team back on track after a disappointing 2024 campaign.

“This whole entire offseason, I’ve been busting my tail,” Hill said. “I want to see what it looks like whenever I focus just on football, and I just focus on myself and family. Because I feel like I really haven’t been giving the best version of me, of Tyreek, my whole entire career. I’ve always been trying to be here, be there.”

Only time will tell if Hill can get back in the Dolphins’ good graces and reclaim his status as one of the elite wide receivers in the NFL. If not, a trade could still be a possibility in the near future.
