Dolphins GM Chris Grier: Tyreek Hill ‘never asked for a trade with me’

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The Miami Dolphins don’t appear to have any immediate plans to trade Tyreek Hill, but culture changes could be on the horizon after behind-the-scenes issues such as player tardiness contributed to a disappointing 2024 season. Grier said Hill did not retract his postgame statements saying he enjoyed playing in Miami but “at the end of the day, I’ve got to do what’s best for my career.” But Hill did not ask Grier for a trade, the GM said at his end-of-season news conference Tuesday. McDaniel, known as a player-friendly coach, said he fined players — some were fined multiple times — but that “wasn’t enough,” and he will make changes to his approach. I think it’s not an indictment necessarily of all, but we are subject to everyone’s actions as a team, and we’ll address them as such.” Teammates need to hold each other to a higher standard next season, including setting expectations for better attendance during optional practices and offseason programs, defensive tackle Zach Sieler said. “When he misses six-and-a-half games, when we miss it by a game getting into the playoffs, to me that’s the difference there.” Tua Tagovailoa, on the heels of a massive contract extension, missed a career-high six games — four early in the season after being diagnosed with his third concussion in two years.
