REVEALED: Despite All Trade Speculations, Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill And QB Tua Tagovailoa Extend Contracts With The Dolphins
MIAMI, FL โ June 2025
In a decisive move that silences months of swirling speculation, the Miami Dolphins have extended the contracts of both quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and wide receiver Tyreek Hill, reaffirming their commitment to the offensive core that has defined their resurgence in recent seasons.
Tua Tagovailoa: The Franchise Quarterback Stays in South Florida
Despite external doubts about his long-term viability and injury history, the Dolphins have placed their trust squarely in Tua Tagovailoa. The 26-year-old signal-caller agreed to a four-year, $212.4 million contract extension, including $167.1 million guaranteed, placing him among the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL.
The deal, which keeps Tagovailoa in Miami through the 2028 season, marks a strong vote of confidence from the front office. It also rewards his impressive development since the arrival of Head Coach Mike McDaniel in 2022. Last season, Tagovailoa led the league in passing yards and ranked among the top five in quarterback rating, solidifying his role as the centerpiece of Miamiโs offense.
> โTua has earned this moment,โ Dolphins General Manager Chris Grier said in a press conference following the extension. โWe believe in him as a leader, as a player, and as the face of this franchise.โ
Tyreek Hill: From Trade Rumors to Long-Term Commitment
While Tagovailoaโs extension was long anticipated, Tyreek Hillโs situation was far more uncertain. Persistent trade rumors, including reported interest from teams like the Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens, cast doubt on Hillโs future in Miami.
However, the Dolphins have now restructured Hillโs deal, ensuring his stay in South Florida at least through 2026. The revised contract is valued at $90 million over the next three years, including $65 million in new guarantees, bringing his total guaranteed money to a record-setting $106.5 million for a wide receiver.
> โThis move reflects our desire to compete for a championship now,โ said Head Coach Mike McDaniel. โTyreekโs impact on and off the field is unmatched. We never wavered in our commitment to him.โ
Hill, who joined Miami in a blockbuster trade from the Kansas City Chiefs in 2022, has continued to dominate defenses, amassing over 3,500 receiving yards and 24 touchdowns over two seasons with the Dolphins.
Shutting Down the Noise
But the Dolphins have now ended all doubt with bold, calculated decisions.
What This Means for Miami
The new contracts solidify the Dolphins’ short- and mid-term vision. With Tua and Tyreek under contract, Miami retains one of the most dynamic QB-WR duos in the NFL. Their chemistry, deep-threat capabilities, and McDanielโs creative offensive system have turned the Dolphins into perennial playoff contenders.
The financial commitments are significant, and expectations will rise accordingly. But if these extensions prove successful, they could represent a defining chapter in the franchiseโs return to championship relevance.
