Tyreek Hill has used the Miami portion of his career to cement his status as a surefire Hall of Famer, separating from Patrick Mahomes and thriving on his own. The historically elite speed merchant has posted back-to-back 1,700-yard seasons. While Waddle is younger, Hill has worked as the Dolphins’ clear-cut No. 1 target during his two South Florida seasons.
The wideout market has caught up to Hill, whose $30MM-per-year deal paced the field for more than two years. Agreed to in March 2022, Hill’s four-year, $120MM Dolphins extension included a phony final year that calls for a $43.9MM base salary — one that almost definitely will not be paid. The guarantees in Hill’s current pact run out after the 2024 season. Prior to Waddle’s $28.25MM-AAV payday, A.J. Brown and Amon-Ra St. Brown passed Hill for per-year value. Other wideouts have scored better-looking contracts since Hill’s extension, even if they did not hit the $30MM-AAV number.
I actually think he’s got a point when I look at the total cash paid per year. I highlighted the Dolphins years. He really didn’t have some huge signing bonus. It was a fair deal relative to the market. All they would have to do is take some of the final years money and move it into this year to give him a little bump.
Hill has kind of evolved into maybe a dude who could go the distance
The whole seconds career in porn is concerning but otherwise he does not seem to be slowing down literally and he does not take many hits. He could one of those freaks that can play at a high levels into mid to late 30s
