McDaniel sidestepped Hill’s comments about possibly wanting out when asked by reporters and plans to meet with his receiver soon.
“I’m not going to (put) too much weight on second-hand, postgame disappointment statements,” McDaniel said on Sunday. “We will see how (the) next couple days progress in convos with him and I.”
The Dolphins later announced McDaniel and general manager Chris Grier would return for the 2025 seaosn.
After reworking his deal last year, Hill remains under contract for the next two seasons, with salary-cap hits of $27.7 million (2025) and $51.9 million (2026), via OverTheCap.
Hill famously asked out of Kansas City, leading to the Chiefs to trade him to Miami prior to the 2022 season. The Chiefs have won two Super Bowl titles and are the No. 1 seed in this year’s playoffs. The Dolphins officially were eliminated from the postseason on Sunday, and Hill is coming off his worst full-season statistics since his rookie season.
