PHOTO: Dolphins Tyreek Hill Just Dropped A Major Hint On Which NFL Team He’ll Be Traded To With Curious Social Media Activity
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has social media buzzing after hinting at his next NFL team with some fascinating social media activity.
The 2024 season has been a disappointment for Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins, whose playoff hopes were essentially lost when quarterback Tua Tagovailoa missed time due to a concussion. Naturally, Miami’s frustrating campaign has led to speculation about Hill potentially getting traded.
Last year, Hill led the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards and 13 touchdown receptions. But through Miami’s first 15 games, the 30-year-old has only 70 catches for 834 yards and six touchdowns.
Well, Tyreek Hill has only fueled the trade speculation by dropping an interesting hint on his next team. On his Snapchat page, Hill shared a post from the ML Football X/Twitter account about the Los Angeles Chargers being the co-favorites to acquire him via trade:
The Chargers (9-6) are on the verge of clinching just their second playoff spot since 2019. That said, they could certainly use more pass-catchers to complement rookie Ladd McConkey, who’s carried the passing game with 69 receptions for 960 yards and five touchdowns.
Miami gave up significant draft capital to acquire Tyreek Hill in a 2022 trade with the Kansas City Chiefs, and he recently agreed to a new deal worth $90 million in the offseason. So it would take a mammoth offer from a rival team to acquire the future Hall of Famer via trade.
Dolphins Should Keep Tyreek Hill
The Miami Dolphins would likely be a playoff team if Tagovailoa didn’t miss four games to injury. His 38-24-0 record as a starting quarterback speaks for itself, after all.
So Miami’s best bet is to run it back with this core and hope for better health regarding key players like Tagovailoa and star pass rushers in Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb. Hill is still a game-changer at the age of 30, and the Dolphins still have every reason to believe they can compete for a playoff spot in 2025.
Son Of Former NFL Star QB Announces He’s Entering Transfer Portal For The 2nd Time This Month In Shocking Move

Cole Pennington, the son of former Miami Dolphins and New York Jets star quarterback Chad Pennington, has decided to again enter the transfer portal in an unexpected move.
The 6-foot-3 Cole Pennington joined the Marshall Thundering Herd in 2022, redshirting in his first year. In limited action over the 2023 and 2024 seasons, Pennington has thrown for 752 yards, one touchdown and six interceptions.
Just eight days ago, Pennington announced on X/Twitter that he was committed to the South Dakota Coyotes’ program. The team is coached by Bob Neilson, who finished 11-3 in 2024.
But shortly after noon on Friday, Cole Pennington announced that he’s back in the transfer portal because of “unforeseen circumstances.” The details behind the development aren’t clear at this time.
Braylon Braxton was Marshall’s main starting quarterback during the 2024 season, throwing for 1,624 yards and 19 touchdowns against two interceptions to go along with 610 rushing yards and four rushing scores. Braxton has also entered the transfer portal.
Chad Pennington is now the head coach of the Sayre School football team (in Lexington, Kentucky) that Cole attended. Chad played for the Jets from 2000 to 2007 before spending his final three seasons (2008 to 2010) in Miami.
Cole Pennington Looks To Follow Father’s Footsteps
The elder Pennington was drafted 18th overall by the New York Jets in 2000 following five years at Marshall. Pennington had success as QB for both the Jets and Dolphins, earning Comeback Player of the Year honors in 2006 (with New York) and Miami (2008).
New York reached the postseason three times with Chad, who also led Miami to a surprise AFC East division crown in 2008.
If Cole Pennington can land in the right system, he’ll improve his production and hopefully follow Chad’s footsteps into the NFL.
