Philadelphia, PA – March 26, 2025, 08:58 AM PDT
Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill has reportedly set a steep price for a potential move to the Philadelphia Eagles, demanding at least $30 million per year from GM Howie Roseman to join the reigning Super Bowl champions, sources told ESPN on Wednesday. The 31-year-old speedster, known as “Cheetah,” is coming off a 3-year, $90 million extension with the Dolphins, but his comments signal a desire to test the market as he enters the later stages of his career.

Hill, a 5-time First-team All-Pro and 8-time Pro Bowler, recorded 47 receptions for 496 yards and 3 touchdowns in 2024, a down year due to an ACL injury in Week 8. Despite the setback, his career stats—12,693 yards, 101 touchdowns, and a league-leading 1,799 yards in 2022—make him one of the NFL’s elite receivers (web ID: 0). “I’d love to play for a winner like the Eagles, but I know my worth,” Hill reportedly told teammates, per ESPN sources. “It’s $30 million a year or nothing.”

The Eagles, with $18.125 million in cap space, face a financial challenge to meet Hill’s demands, especially with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith already anchoring the receiving corps. Hill’s request matches his current $30 million APY with the Dolphins, but his $27.65 million cap hit in 2025 makes a trade or signing complex (web ID: 12). Roseman, known for creative cap management, would need to restructure contracts or make significant roster moves to accommodate Hill’s price tag.

Eagles fans on X are buzzing with mixed reactions. “Hill at $30M? That’s steep—we’ve got Brown and Smith!” posted @EaglesNation. Another fan countered, “Imagine Hill with Hurts—trade Dotson and make it happen!” (@PhillyFanatic). As the Eagles prioritize cornerback and defensive end needs, Hill’s demand poses a high-stakes dilemma for Roseman in his quest to bolster the offense.
