Tyreek Hill: 'Frustration' Led to 'I'm Out' Comments After Dolphins Season Ended

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill said his viral "I'm out" comments following the end of last season were the product of "frustration."

Hill spoke about the matter to his viewers while streaming a video game, per ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques.

"What y'all had heard at the end of the season was frustration," Hill said. "I've been winning my whole life, bruh. Y'all don't understand, I bust my ass every day -- I deserve to feel like that, I deserve to have some kind of opinion. Y'all just want me to say, 'Oh well, get 'em next year?' Nah, f--k that. We've got to come back, we got to put some pressure on motherf--kers. Y'all got to fix this s--t, come on. Add some motherf--kin' dogs in this b---h. I compete, I love to compete, bruh."

Hill previously told reporters he was frustrated and "out" after the 8-9 Dolphins' season ended with a 32-20 road loss to the New York Jets on Jan. 5.

"I'm out, bruh," Hill told assembled media. "It was great playing here but at the end of the day, I have to do what's best for my career."

Hill is on a restructured $90 million deal with Miami that runs through 2026.

It was a frustrating season for Hill and the Dolphins to say the least, perhaps boiling over from a tough end to the 2023 campaign.

Miami was one win away from earning the AFC's No. 2 seed last year but fell to the Buffalo Bills in Week 18. That meant a road date with the Kansas City Chiefs instead of a home game against those same Bills in the AFC Wild Card round. Miami lost 26-7 at Kansas City in freezing cold temperatures, ending a once-promising season that saw the team finish second in scoring.

In 2024, Miami lost starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to a concussion for four-plus games and a hip injury for two more. The offense never really got going all year, finishing 22nd in scoring. Hill, who led the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns in 2023, had 959 yards and six scores in 2024.

The five-time First Team All-Pro selection enjoyed six great seasons with the Chiefs before landing in Miami before the 2022 season, winning two AFC titles and one Super Bowl during his tenure there. He's found team success in Miami, albeit not as much, with just two playoff appearances (and no wins) to show for it.

The Super Bowl appears further away now after a tough year in town, and perhaps the frustrations of a lost year got the best of Hill at that late-season moment. It seems like he's in a better spot now with time to reflect and distance from the lost year, though, as the Dolphins look to bounce back in 2025.
