Miami Dolphins All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill may be on injured reserve and done for the season, but that won’t stop him from chiming in on social media.
The Dolphins benched quarterback Tua Tagovailoa on Wednesday morning, and not long after the news broke, Hill took to X and posted a cryptic tweet with a peace sign emoji and a gif of two kids, where one throws up a peace sign then vanishes.
Was it meant to be a jab at Tagovailoa getting benched or a sign that Hill is done in Miami? Or was it meant to be a mystery to further confuse fans?

Hill is known for posting cryptic tweets, even seemingly teasing an early retirement in a tweet he posted last December.
“Love what you do cause it will soon end [heart emoji],” Hill posted on X in December 2024.
Trade rumors surrounding Hill were still circulating earlier this season, before he suffered the knee injury that sidelined him. Hill was traded to Kansas City after the 2021 season for a fresh start in South Florida and immediately signed a four-year, $120 million deal with $72 million guaranteed.
Following a contract restructure in summer 2024, Hill is signed with Miami through next season. Knowing this, his cryptic tweet Wednesday might suggest his time with the Dolphins is nearly over. However, it could be Hill attempting to stir up old trade rumors and reignite interest.

At the very least, it creates social media buzz that clearly entertains Hill. Tagovailoa’s benching wasn’t surprising, given the team’s disappointing season. With head coach Mike McDaniel on the hot seat, some wonder why the benching didn’t happen sooner.
The Dolphins were officially eliminated from playoff contention after Monday night’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Quinn Ewers will replace Tagovailoa and start in Week 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals in Miami.
