Justin Jefferson mega deal drives up Tyreek Hill Dolphins asking price

Tyreek Hill eyes bigger paycheck after Justin Jefferson's massive deal. Will Dolphins meet his demands or risk losing star receiver?

Tyreek Hill must be taking note of the massive payday that Justin Jefferson recently secured. The offseason has seen wide receivers cashing in big time, with another top receiver now joining the ranks of the handsomely compensated just days after Jaylen Waddle of the Miami Dolphins received a lucrative extension. This begs the question - will the Dolphins engage in contract discussions with Tyreek Hill?

Currently under contract with Miami until 2025, Hill may be eyeing a renegotiation given the impact of Jefferson's new deal. Jefferson's four-year, $140 million contract, with $110 million guaranteed, has set a new standard in the league. In comparison, Hill's contract, once considered one of the highest, is now seen as a bargain.

Reports suggest that Hill is seeking a new contract, especially after seeing A.J. Brown secure a lucrative deal with the Eagles. With his current contract set to pay him just under $20 million in 2024 and a voidable 2026 year with a hefty $46 million tag, Hill is likely looking for more guaranteed money. The Jefferson deal only strengthens his position to negotiate for a better deal.

It will be intriguing to see how far Hill is willing to push for a new contract. Despite mentioning a possible retirement after the 2025 season for non-football pursuits, Hill remains a key player for the Dolphins. While Miami recently extended Waddle, Hill remains their top wide receiver, and his importance to the offense cannot be understated.

The situation in Miami is set to become even more intriguing if Hill insists on a revamped contract. However, with the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Tua Tagovailoa, the Dolphins may be hesitant to engage in another high-profile contract negotiation. Nevertheless, with another wide receiver surpassing his earnings, all eyes will be on Hill and the Dolphins as this story continues to unfold. Stay tuned for more developments in this evolving saga.
