For the last two weeks, there has been a consistent level of speculation that former Kansas City Chiefs star receiver Tyreek Hill is on his way out of Miami. Whether it is the body language on the sideline or the lack of production in Week 1, there was no shortage of reasons to believe Hill was on his way out. A belief that is only furthered by a Week 2 heartbreaking loss to the New England Patriots. At the top of Miami's last gasp, Hill gave the Dolphins a chance to get rolling.
Taking off and flashing his signature speed, the receiver found an open space in the zone and sat down flashing his number to Tua Tagovailoa, who sailed the ball way over Hill's head. The receiver could be seen leaping up and down in frustration and quickly asking to be taken out of the game. It was an incredibly ugly sequence that highlighted just how dark things have gotten in Miami. Problems that go far deeper than just the attitude of the Kansas City star.

For the Chiefs, it is a reminder of the reasons why paying Hill top dollar was a bit of a risk. While a return isn't going to be ruled out, this does serve as a cautionary tale to anyone looking to bring in the star. This is especially true when you realize that the problems date back to a season ago. The final game of the season saw the speedy receiver quit on his team and appear to demand his way out of the franchise.
If the first two weeks of the season are any indication, this is a stance that perhaps Hill shouldn't have pivoted away from giving himself a chance to play for another organization. The Dolphins have an argument as the worst team in the AFC despite how much offensive talent remains on the roster. Poor coaching and awful defensive play have defined the first two weeks of the season, with both Daniel Jones and Drake Maye playing arguably the best games of their respective careers against the unit.
Hill's frustration is completely understandable, but the way the veteran is handling the situation remains the wrong approach. Opting to show up his quarterback and pitch a fit after the missed throw is a poor decision and only adds to the rumors and frustration with a team that we are watching implode early in the season.
It would be a surprise not to see the receiver and the rest of Miami's veterans end the season in a new landing spot. Sunday's loss was simply far too frustrating for the franchise to recover from. The Dolphins' season is already over two weeks into the season, and it seems that the receiver's time in Miami is coming to an end as well. Hill's reaction at the end of the game was fitting, showing exactly where the season for the Dolphins is heading.
