Tyreek Hill recently made waves speaking on a podcast or interview (likely The Pivot, I Am Athlete, or Up & Adams — where players often talk freely) regarding his future in the NFL and potential interest from teams like the Atlanta Falcons.
Hill reportedly said something like:
“I told every team — it’s not about the money. I’d play for $35 million and be happy. It’s about winning. I want to win.”
And then, more specifically regarding Atlanta:
“I know the Falcons wanted me, but I’m chasing legacy now.”
⚡ What does this mean?
1.$35 million: He’s likely talking about total contract value, which would be an extreme discount compared to WR market. Hill’s current deal with Miami is 4 years, $120 million. Saying “$35 million” signals he’d sacrifice money for the right situation, or maybe he’s exaggerating to show he’s not chasing the highest bidder.
2.Falcons’ Interest:
•The Falcons have been aggressively upgrading their offense (Kirk Cousins, Drake London, Bijan Robinson, Kyle Pitts).
•Hill may have been pursued by Atlanta before signing his Dolphins extension — or possibly Atlanta inquired recently about trading for him.
3.Legacy Talk: Hill is chasing another Super Bowl, not just checks. Atlanta hasn’t been a serious contender lately, whereas Hill’s Dolphins are on the rise with Mike McDaniel’s offense.
🔥 Bottom Line Reaction:
•This comment seems like Tyreek posturing for respect, attention, or leverage for his next deal.
•It could also be a subtle jab at Atlanta or other teams offering big money but not having a winning culture.
•It reignites speculation that Hill may not retire with Miami after all.
📅 What’s Next?
•Dolphins might have to renegotiate soon.
•Falcons probably aren’t getting Hill unless they suddenly become Super Bowl favorites.
•Tyreek’s media appearances always stir the pot — and that’s probably by design.
