Rosenhaus Talks Tyreek Hill's Dolphins Contract in Reaction to Justin Jefferson Deal

Tyreek Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, spoke to sportscaster Josh Moser on Monday morning after it was announced that Minnesota Vikings wideout Justin Jefferson signed a four-year, $140 million extension—with $110 million guaranteed and $88.7 million due at signing—with the Minnesota Vikings, the largest deal in NFL history for a non-quarterback.

Rosenhaus said he spoke to the Miami Dolphins about upping Hill's contract in the wake of Jefferson's extension and other major extensions at the position this offseason for players like A.J. Brown (three-year, $96 million) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (four years, $120 million):

ESPN's Adam Schefter also appeared on The Pat McAfee Show and reported that the Dolphins likely would adjust Hill's deal after the market shifted this offseason:

Hill, 30, is arguably the best wideout in football. He led the NFL in receiving yards (1,799) and receiving touchdowns (13) last season. He has back-to-back seasons with over 1,700 receiving yards, has exceeded 1,000 receiving yards six times, has notched 111 or more receptions in three straight seasons and has posted double-digit touchdowns three times.

By most metrics, Hill still has a top-five contract at the wideout position. He ranks No. 4 in average annual salary ($30 million) and overall money ($120 million), though his practical guaranteed money ($72.2 million) ranks sixth.

He's set to be under contract through the 2026 season, with a cap hit of $31.2 million this year, $34.2 million in 2025 and a whopping $56.3 million in 2026.

Athletes are competitive, even when it comes to money, and the eight-time Pro Bowler, five-time first-team All-Pro and one-time champion likely would prefer to be at the very top of the market. That probably won't happen—Hill is already 30 and closer to the end of his career than the beginning, while Jefferson is just 24 and just now entering his prime years.

There's also the matter of Tua Tagovailoa needing an extension as he enters the final year of his rookie contract. That complicates matters for Miami.

But it won't be surprising if the Dolphins rework Hill's deal to get him closer to the top of the market. Jefferson's deal exceeded wideouts and took him beyond all positions, even besting Nick Bosa's massive five-year, $170 million deal (outside of total money, where Bosa still reigns supreme among non-quarterbacks).

The Dolphins may not be able to go to those lengths to appease Hill. But he'll almost assuredly be getting a raise.
