Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill expressed some frustration after the season and told reporters that heโs โoutโ in terms of his time in Miami.
โIโm out, bruh,โ Hill said. โIt was great playing here but at the end of the day, I have to do whatโs best for my career.โ
Hill recently explained that those comments were out of โfrustration.โ
โWhat yโall had heard at the end of the season was frustration,โ Hill said, via ESPN.com. โIโve been winning my whole life, bruh. Yโall donโt understand, I bust my ass every day โ I deserve to feel like that, I deserve to have some kind of opinion. Yโall just want me to say, โOh well, get โem next year?โ Nah, fโ that. Weโve got to come back, we got to put some pressure on motherfโโ. Yโall got to fix this sโ, come on. Add some motherfโโ dogs in this bโ-. I compete, I love to compete, bruh.โ
Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said they spoke for around an hour or so about the situation in an attempt to โclear the air.โ
โWe met for, I want to say an hour,โ McDaniel said. โI think I was very direct with him, he was very honest, and it was great terms that we were discussing. Discussed multiple things, including โ without wavering โ that itโs not acceptable to leave the game and it wonโt be tolerated in the future. He embraced accountability, and I wouldnโt say there was anything necessarily to fix as much as we had to clear the air in a rough and tumultuous situation.โ
