Tyreek Hill offers ‘public apology’ to Tua Tagovailoa following Dolphins trade demand drama

Tyreek Hill offers ‘public apology’ to Tua Tagovailoa following Dolphins trade demand drama

Tyreek Hill is going on what he has termed an “apology tour.”

After a difficult end to the season that concluded with a trade demand after missing the playoffs, Hill is now begging for Tua Tagovailoa’s forgiveness while in New Orleans for the Super Bowl, claiming he wants to be in Miami next season.

“Tua is my guy, he always will be my guy no matter what,” Hill said on Up & Adams with Kay Adams on Friday morning. “He understands my frustration. We all want to win. Tua he’s another compeтιтor, he’s a hell of a compeтιтor, a lot of people don’t know that. He’s a winner, he’s consistent, so I’m looking forward to us continuing to build our relationship. And this is my public apology tour. I love you, bro.”

Hill also went on a long apology rant on NBC’s Pro Football Talk.

“I’m taking full accountability for what I said. I’m gonna come back next year. I wanna stay with the Dolphins,” Hill told the media outlet.

However, Hill added that watching his former team of six years, the Chiefs, dominate the league and end up in the Super Bowl in five of their last six seasons is a tough pill to swallow.

“It’s tough…It sucks not being here. But gotta support my boys,” Hill told Pro Football Talk.

The eight-time Pro Bowler and 2019 Super Bowl champ had previously told reporters after the season ended that he intended to leave the Dolphins this offseason.

There also had been whispers of a contract dispute in the summer.

“This is my first time I haven’t been in the playoffs, man,” Hill went on. “So I just got to do what’s best for me and my family. If that’s here or wherever the case may be, I’m finna open that door for myself. I’m opening the door. I’m out, bro. It was great playing here, but at the end of the day, I gotta do what’s best for my career because I’m too much of a compeтιтor to be just out there.”

Shortly after the blow-up, Hill and the Dolphins front office were able to mend their differences and get back on the same page, where the star receiver is expected to stay with the team.

“In a frustrating season, he was very emotional in a game where we had a chance coming back from 2-6 and I would say that’s probably the thing I’m most proud of, the players and Mike and the coaching staff that we were 2-6 and were playing Week 18 to potentially sneak in the playoffs,” Dolphins’ general manager Chris Grier said Tuesday during a post-season press conference. “I think all of that with him and playing through his injury just kind of bubbled to a point, and from our conversations … we had productive conversations.”

The Dolphins went 8-9 in 2024 as Tagovailoa spent much of the beginning parts of the season battling injuries while Hill had his worst season since 2016.

Hill played in all 17 games, accumulating 959 yards and six touchdowns.
