TRAINING camp has only just begun, but things are already tense at the Miami Dolphins.
After implying he wanted to leave the team at the end of last season, Tyreek Hill has to work to regain his teammates’ trust.

After the final game of the 2024 season, Hill commented that he was “out” on the Dolphins.
He later backtracked on those comments, but the words haven’t faded for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
On Wednesday, Tua made it known that Hill needs to improve his relationship with his teammates after his comments.
“I think there’s a lot more vulnerability with Tyreek,” he said.
“He’s conversating a lot more with the guys, not just about football, but about things off the field, being vulnerable about some of the things people know about his personal life and things of that nature.
“I think that’s the first step toward him building true relationships and a real connection with a lot of the guys in there.
“Everyone knows what he can do on the field, everyone respects what he can do on the field, but I think he’s still trying to figure things out for himself as well, the man he wants to be — and he’s not too young.
“Everybody makes mistakes, it’s just, some people, they’re in the spotlight and their deals get pushed out more than some others. So you’ve just got to cut him some grace.
“That’s our teammate. We love him, but as a person I think if you get to know him you’ll love him too.”
Tua said his relationship with Hill is still a “work in progress,” but that the wide receiver is working on improving it.
“We’re still continuing to do that, but it’s not just with me, it’s with a lot of the guys,” he said.
“I’m not the only one that heard that. You guys aren’t the only people that heard that.
“A lot of people that follow football, that follow the Miami Dolphins, that follow Tyreek, that are fans of his, everyone has seen that.
“So when you say something like that, you don’t just come back from that with, ‘Hey, my bad.’ You’ve got to work that relationship up, you’ve got to build everything up again.
“It’s still a work in progress, not just for me but for everybody.

“But like I said, he’s working on himself, he’s working on the things he says he wants to get better with and do better on.
“So that’s the first step to me so I commend him for doing that.”
The Dolphins missed the playoffs last season for the first time since 2021.
With how the roster currently looks and the issues they are facing ahead of the season, it looks like it will be a tall task for Miami to make the playoffs.
