Less than a day after Tyreek Hill hinted at his desire to leave the Miami Dolphins, rival players have begun crafting their recruiting pitches for the star wide receiver. Among them is Dallas Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons, who wasted no time trying to lure Hill to Texas.
Parsons’ Pitch
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, Parsons pitched the idea of teaming up with Hill, touting the potential of becoming the “fastest duo in the league.” He also highlighted a key financial incentive: Texas’ lack of state income tax, which could be an attractive proposition for any high-earning athlete.
Parsons’ enthusiasm is understandable. Adding Hill, widely regarded as one of the NFL’s most explosive players, would elevate any team’s offensive capabilities and make the Cowboys even more formidable.
Hill’s Intentions
Hill’s declaration came after the Dolphins’ game on Sunday, where he made it clear that he is considering leaving Miami after three seasons. However, it remains uncertain whether the Dolphins are willing to entertain the idea of moving on from the wide receiver. If they do, it would likely involve significant negotiations given Hill’s impact on the team and his current contract.
The Cowboys’ Challenges
While Parsons’ pitch is compelling, the Cowboys face significant obstacles in making such a move a reality. The team is already balancing several massive contracts, including the one Parsons himself is expected to secure soon.
Additionally, the Cowboys already have a dominant No. 1 receiver in CeeDee Lamb, and fitting Hill’s hefty contract into their payroll would be a significant challenge. Hill recently signed a restructured three-year, $90 million deal with Miami before the start of the season, making any potential trade or acquisition a complex financial puzzle.
Why Parsons Shot His Shot
Despite the challenges, Parsons’ bold recruitment effort is indicative of the respect Hill commands around the league. Known for his game-changing speed and playmaking ability, Hill has the talent to transform any offense he joins. For Parsons, a pairing with Hill represents not just a dream scenario but an opportunity to create one of the most electrifying duos in NFL history.
What’s Next for Hill and the Dolphins?
As speculation swirls, the ball is in Miami’s court. The Dolphins will have to decide whether to entertain trade offers or attempt to resolve any issues and retain their star receiver. If Hill does indeed leave, the sweepstakes for his services will likely draw significant interest from contenders across the league.
For now, Parsons has thrown his hat into the ring, making it clear that if Hill wants a new home, the Cowboys—and Texas—are ready to welcome him with open arms.
While the logistics may seem far-fetched, Parsons’ playful pitch underscores the high stakes surrounding Hill’s potential departure from Miami.
