Video: Tyreek Hill Gives Tua Tagovailoa 'Public Apology' for Dolphins Exit Comments

Scott PolacekFeb 7, 2025

Tyreek Hill generated plenty of headlines after the Miami Dolphins' 2024 season ended when he suggested his time with the team was done, but he took a far different approach Friday.

He even apologized to quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for those past comments.

"Tua, he's my guy," Hill said during a discussion with Kay Adams. "Always will be my guy no matter what. I'm sure he understands my frustration, we all want to win. Tua, he's another competitor. He's a hell of a competitor. 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 to you, Tua."

Hill later doubled down on his apology, telling Pro Football Talk he's taking "full accountability" for his remarks:

This comes after Hill told reporters (2:25 mark) last month, "I'm out. 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 competitor to be just out there."

While it seemed at the time that Hill may be done with the Dolphins, head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters the wide receiver accepted accountability when they met for one hour. What's more, general manager Chris Grier said Hill never requested a trade when they met.

The eight-time Pro Bowler also addressed his previous comments last month while streaming a video game, per ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques.

"What y'all had heard at the end of the season was frustration," he 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."

At this point, it seems like Hill is staying put.

That would make sense, as he is under contract through the 2026 campaign and still a top playmaker for a Dolphins team looking to bounce back after what was a frustrating season.

Miami went 8-9 and missed the playoffs after reaching the past two postseasons. Tagovailoa was limited to 11 games with injuries, and Hill failed to reach the 1,000-yard mark with 959 receiving yards.

It was a far cry from when he led the league with 1,799 receiving yards and 13 touchdown catches during the 2023 campaign.

Tagovailoa was able to stay healthy and appeared in all 17 games during that 2023 season, which is one reason Hill put up those numbers. And it appears their relationship is still intact given the receiver's latest apology and comments, and they will have the chance to bounce back in 2025 and beyond.
