Tyreek Hill to Steelers: The Logic Behind the Stunning Trade

Tyreek Hill to Steelers: The Logic Behind the Stunning Trade

7 days ago | 5 Views

Tyreek Hill is reportedly seeking to leave the Miami Dolphins, and speculation regarding his desire to join the Pittsburgh Steelers has gained traction, particularly since Mike Tomlin and the team traded the star wide receiver to the Dallas Cowboys. Let’s explore why the combination of Tyreek Hill and DK Metcalf appears logical.

George Pickens creates a significant void

Pickens was a consistent presence in Pittsburgh, tallying 59 receptions for 900 receiving yards, with an average of 15. 3 yards per catch, and scoring three receiving touchdowns in 2024. With his departure, the team requires a premier WR, particularly since their acquisition of four-time NFL MVP and free agent Aaron Rodgers is at stake.

For Pickens and a 2027 6th-round pick, the Steelers received a 2026 3rd-round pick and a 2027 5th-round pick. The Cowboys now have an ideal WR2 to complement CeeDee Lamb.

Given the substantial gap in Pittsburgh's offense, Tyreek Hill could be a blockbuster candidate. The troubled receiver from Miami was not performing at his peak last season without Tua Tagovailoa throwing to him. The 31-year-old participated in 17 games, logging 81 receptions for 959 yards, averaging 11. 8 yards per catch, and accumulating 6 receiving touchdowns. He also had 7 rushing attempts for 47 yards, with no rushing touchdowns in 2024.

Tyreek Hill dissatisfied with Dolphins

Hill recently disclosed that he underwent a second wrist surgery on Thursday morning. On Snapchat, Cheetah shared details about surgery #2 alongside a photo of his bandaged arm.

Tyreek Hill also appears to be discontent with the Dolphins. In a recent incident, he listed his top quarterbacks in the NFL in no particular order on Snapchat. However, he neglected to include his former favorite Tagovailoa. The star WR's top QBs are: Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Baker Mayfield, and Joe Burrow.

During an appearance on ESPN, NFL reporter Jeff Darlington mentioned that Hill’s behavior has become “a little bit tiresome” to some individuals.
