Tyreek Hill is not in the mood to entertain any Jaylen Waddle trade rumors.
Hill took to X/Twitter Wednesday to admonish anyone who suggested trading Waddle, the team’s 2021 first-round pick, this offseason.
“My boy Waddle is the future, he is better than I was at this point in his career and for people in this fan base to want to trade him is ludicrous,” Hill wrote.
While Hill referred to Dolphins fans in his post, the idea of dealing Waddle was mentioned by former NFL general manager Mike Tannenbaum during Tuesday’s edition of ESPN’s Get Up.
“I love this one,” Tannenbaum said. “Two great young players. Trent McDuffie straight up for Jaylen Waddle and here’s why: If you’re Miami, you’re probably going to cut Xavien Howard as a cap casualty. So you get Trent McDuffie, who is a great young player. So that’s for Miami. Obviously, you still have a great receiver in Tyreek Hill. For Kansas City, you need a No. 1 receiver. Jaylen Waddle really has a chance to be a No. 1.”
Waddle has eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark in each of his first three NFL seasons. In 2023, he played in only 14 games due to injury but still managed 72 catches, 1,014 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
Right now, it seems highly unlikely that Miami would trade the former Alabama star, who is eligible for a long-term contract extension this offseason.
