The Miami Dolphins are in a confusing place with the NFL trade deadline in sight.

At 2-4, the team could decide to punt on the season and do a soft rebuild, stocking up on draft picks and coming back in 2025 with a retooled roster. One of the biggest rumors fluttering around social media is whether the Dolphins would trade Tyreek Hill.

The Dolphins’ offense is the worst in the NFL through seven weeks, but quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is expected to return this week after an IR stint. How he plays after recovering from a concussion could determine GM Chris Grier’s plans at the trade deadline. The Dolphins are still in second place in the AFC East and 1.5 games out of the wild-card hunt. Could they bolster the defense after Jaelan Phillips was lost for the season?

The Athletic’s Diana Russini said on Tuesday’s episode of the “Scoop City” podcast that the Dolphins had no intention of trading Hill. The receiver signed a three-year, $90 million extension with the Dolphins over the offseason, and he has the biggest cap hit against the team this season at $18.3 million. He has said he wants to stay in Miami and been playing around on social media with the notion that he was on the trading block.

The Jets traded for Davante Adams, and the Bills added Amari Cooper. When news of the Chiefs agreeing to a trade for DeAndre Hopkins broke Wednesday morning, Hill continued his social media tomfoolery with a two-letter post:
