Tyreek Hill and Dolphins agree to restructuring deal
The Miami Dolphins and star receiver Tyreek Hill have reached an agreement on a revised contract worth $90 million over the next three years, with $65 million guaranteed, Hill’s agent Drew Rosenhaus said Saturday.
Hill will receive $106.5 million fully guaranteed over the next four seasons, the most ever for a wide receiver.
“We haven’t added any new years,” Rosenhaus said. “This is just adding guaranteed money. It’s the most guaranteed money added to a contract without adding new years in NFL history.”

This puts Hill very close to matching the contract of fellow receiver Justin Jefferson, who signed a four-year, $140 million contract extension with the Minnesota Vikings, $110 million of which is guaranteed.
Tagovailoa’s top target rewarded
Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s development from a struggling prospect to a full-fledged NFL starter can be directly attributed to the Dolphins’ acquisition of Hill two seasons ago.
Coach Mike McDaniel has deployed Hill all over the field, making him Tagovailoa’s security blanket. Hill has responded by producing 1,700 receiving yards back-to-back seasons (leading the league in receiving yards in 2023).
After extending their quarterback late last month, the Dolphins have now rewarded their most dynamic weapon as they try to force a deep playoff run after two straight disappointing finishes. — Mike Jones
