This NFL offseason has washed in a wave of new wide receiver contracts, resetting the top of the market position. One player hoping to ride this wave is Dolphins wideout Tyreek Hill<\/a>, who said he was thinking about his next deal and is thrilled to see what his new pay standard would mean for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m very excited to just be a part of the old wave, which was $30 million, and Justin Jefferson came and surpassed that, man,” Hill said, via Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. “So, very proud of those guys, happy for obviously my teammate (Jaylen) Waddle getting his new deal. For guys like me, that’s great. I’m 30 years old, also looking for a new deal. So, very, very excited to see where I fit into that category. It’s amazing.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Hill signed his present four-year, $120 million extension with the Miami Dolphins after joining through a trade from Chiefs, his $30 million annually average was at the top of the rankings for the position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But only in the last three months, three players have exceeded that average, according to Over the Cap. This includes Minnesota Vikings\u2019 Jefferson, who set the new high mark with his $35 million per year average. Hill\u2019s teammate Waddle also signed a three-year $84.75 million extension that is just below his average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hill is set to receive $19.665 million in 2024, the last year with guaranteed money, indicating that the time has come for him to get an extension to put his salary more in line with current standards for a player of his calibre. He has been one of the best at his position joining the Dolphins, earning first-team All-Pro honours both years while also continuing his streak of making the Pro Bowl each of his eight seasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This most recent year, Hill led the league by averaging 112.4 yards per game, with a total of 1,799 yards, just short of his goal of becoming the first WR to break 2,000 yards in a season. But, how paying him fits into the Dolphins\u2019 future plans could be complicated because the team is spending money in other places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, Hill said he is not focusing on the money, and his immediate priority still remains leading his team to postseason glory, which has eluded them despite succeeding in the regular-season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Oh yeah, for sure, so very excited for it, man, but the real goal is to win the Super Bowl,” Hill said. “It’s cool to get paid and all that, but you know being able to win a Super Bowl and bring something special to the city of Miami, that’s something that can live with us forever. I believe that’s very monumental for all of us. Create greatness, man.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
