Tyreek Hill took a breather from his Grecian vacation to lecture Dolphins fans about the importance of Jaylen Waddle.
Apparently Hill caught wind of a cohort of Miami fans advocating to trade his partner in the Dolphins wide receiving corps, and wanted to make it clear that he wasn’t having it.
In three posts on X on Wednesday, Hill stuck up for Waddle.
“I’m all the way in Greece right now and I get on Twitter to see people talking crazy about dolphin football,” Hill tweeted.
“My boy waddle is the future , he is better than I was at this point in his career and for people in this fan base to want to trade him is ludicrous.
“Him and Tua was special before me and will be special after I leave,” he added, concluding with a teary emoji.
This past season, his third in the NFL, Waddle caught 72 passes for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns in 14 games.
The Dolphins got off to a 9-3 start but sputtered late, dropping their final two regular-season games before getting blown out 26-7 by the Chiefs in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs.
Waddle caught five passes for 31 yards in the loss.
Meanwhile, the Dolphins find themselves needing to make a decision on whether to sign Tagovailoa to a big-money extension, as he is set to be a free agent after next season.
On one hand, he has led the team to consecutive playoff berths and along with head coach Mike McDaniel, led an offense this season that was No. 1 in the league in total yards.
On the other, the Dolphins have wilted in several games against top teams, and Tagovailoa looked visibly uncomfortable in the cold in Kansas City in January.
His combination of body language and performance in the loss seemed like an issue that could fester in the postseason for years when the Dolphins play in cold climates.
