Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Frustration led to end-of-year remarks - ESPN

MIAMI — Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill said his end-of-season comments came from a place of frustration, after missing the playoffs for the first time in his nine-year NFL career.

Hill hinted at a possible exit from the team he has spent the past three seasons with after the Dolphins' season-ending loss to the New York Jets in Week 18. Speaking to his viewers while streaming a video game, Hill stood by his frustrations and explained his perspective.

After the Jets game in Week 18, Hill vowed to do what's best for himself and his family, «if that's here or wherever the case may be.»

«I'm out, bruh,» Hill said. «It was great playing here but at the end of the day, I have to do what's best for my career.»

Coach Mike McDaniel declined to directly respond to Hill's «emotional» comments but said he and Hill found common ground after the five-time All-Pro removed himself from the Jets game once it became clear Miami's season was coming to an end.

«We met for, I want to say, an hour,» McDaniel said. «I think I was very direct with him, he was very honest, and it was great
