Let’s go back to Miami and see what’s going on there: The Dolphins came into the season hoping to win their first playoff game since 2000. But ended up missing the playoffs in the last week of regular season games. And to make matters worse, their star receiver Tyreek Hill made the headlines when he apparently subbed himself out against the Jets. However, that wasn’t the end of it. The real controversy began when Hill dropped a bombshell interview after their regular season finale.

“This is my first time I haven’t been in the playoffs. I just gotta do what’s best for me and my family. If that’s here or wherever the case may. I’m finna open that door for myself. I’m opening the door, I’m out, bro.” This caught the Dolphins off guard, with question marks appearing over Hills’ future in Miami. However, it seems like those statements were just Hill bursting out in frustration because of the Dolphins missing out on the playoffs.

Tyreek Hill was caught addressing his post-game interview while playing Fortnite on stream, “What y’ll heard at the end of the season was frustration.” Then, he also went on to describe the reason behind his outburst, “I have been winning my whole life bruh. I don’t think you understand I am bursting my a– every day, so I deserve to have something like that. I deserve to have some kind of opinion. Like it’s true, this was the first time since Hill entered the league in 2016 that he missed out on the postseason.

So, without beating around the bush and just accepting how things are, Hills also sent a strong message to the Dolphins front office, “Y’ll just want me to say ohh well get it next year f— that we want to put some pressure on the m—– f—— like hey bruh y’ll gotta fix this s— bro add some dawgs in this b—-. I compete. I love to compete bruh.” See, the Phins have a salary cap space somewhere around $12M. Maybe that could help them land a few players and offer Cheetah clarity on where the Dolphins are heading. As for now, Miami has only made changes to its coaching staff after a disappointing end to 2024.

Mike McDaniel reshuffles his backroom staff before next season arrives in Miami

When you miss out on the playoffs, franchises make some hard decisions to sort out their situation. Well, if you look at the Dolphins, they had to make a change in certain departments. First, they fired their special teams coordinator, Danny Crossman, after five years in Miami. Crossman’s special teams ranked only 21st in punt returns, 22nd in kick returns, and dead last in opponents’ kick returns. So, Daniel thought it was time they decided to move on from Crossman services in South Beach, “I believe that change is needed and am motivated to do what is best for the team as we move forward.”

But Crossman wasn’t the only one who was shown the door by Mike McDaniel. They also decided to sack their WR and passing game coordinator, Wes Welker. His passing offense took a nose dive this season, with the Dolphins falling from the top of the chart to 15th in 2024. Judging by Cheetah’s 959 yards season after recording more than 1,000 receiving yards in his first two seasons with Miami. Welker struggles in calling the plays were there for everyone to witness.

So, with Crossman and Welker gone—can the Dolphins find a reliable replacement to improve their special teams and passing offense before next season? Well, if they can’t, then Tyreek Hill probably won’t stick around for long because he isn’t ready to accept mediocrity in his NFL career.
