Five potential Tyreek Hill landing spots amid latest trade rumors

Tyreek Hill has ignited a fresh wave of speculation about his future with some social media activity, and potential trade suitors have likely taken note.

Hill had a series of cryptic posts on X Sunday that led many to believe he could seek a trade. The first hint came when a user posed a question asking if Miami Dolphins fans would be open to trading the star wide receiver. Hill responded with a smiley face emoji.

Hill then found another post where a salary cap expert suggested that Hill is a candidate to be traded during the NFL Draft. Hill reposted the prediction with a peace sign emoji.

Hill had to have known how those responses would be interpreted. Remember, this is the same player who indicated he would leave the Dolphins after their season ended. While the two sides were said to have smoothed things over, no one would be shocked if Hill were to ask for a trade in the coming weeks.

If Hill does want out of Miami, which teams might have an interest in acquiring him? Here are five potential landing spots for the eight-time Pro Bowl selection:

Los Angeles Chargers

Ladd McConkey had an outstanding rookie season last year with 82 catches, 1,149 yards and seven touchdowns. The former Georgia star looks like a true No. 1 receiver, but the Chargers are not nearly as deep at the wide receiver position as they were in years past.

L.A. reacquired Mike Williams in a trade with the New York Jets midway through last season, but the veteran had three or fewer catches in every game. Justin Herbert is one of the most talented quarterbacks in the NFL, and Hill's speed could add an element to the Chargers' offense that would be incredibly difficult to stop.

Dallas Cowboys

How long can Jerry Jones go without making a huge splash? The Cowboys need to sign Micah Parsons to an extension, but they could find a way to do that and add Hill. What better way to welcome new head coach Brian Schottenheimer than by gifting him with a wide receiver duo of Hill and CeeDee Lamb?

Dak Prescott will turn 32 this summer. The quarterback has been banged up in recent years, and his prime will not last forever. You know Jones's eyes are going to light up if Hill wants a change of scenery.

New England Patriots

The Patriots just signed Stefon Diggs to a four-year, $69M deal, but the contract is a lot more team-friendly than it sounds. New England also still has nearly $70M in salary cap space, according to Spotrac. It can easily afford to take on Hill's $30M salary.

If the Patriots want Drake Maye to make a second-year leap, they need to surround him with weapons. A duo of Diggs and Hill would turn New England's wide receiver room from one of the worst in the league to one of the best in a single offseason.

Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens signed DeAndre Hopkins this offseason, but he is the latest in a long line of past-their-prime wideouts who have landed in Baltimore. At 31, Hill is still playing his best football.

Hill and Zay Flowers could do some serious damage in the same offense. The Ravens will always be run-first as long as Derrick Henry is healthy, but Hill is the type of player who could push them over the top.

Kansas City Chiefs

Hill has been open about the fact that he never wanted to leave Kansas City. He simply wanted a new contract, and the two sides could not reach an agreement. Hill has even left the door open for a return to the Chiefs.

The Chiefs have solid receivers in Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice, but the latter is working his way back from a major knee injury. Travis Kelce's best days are also behind him. If Kansas City wants to keep its Super Bowl appearance streak alive, adding Hill would be one way to instantly boost its chances.
