Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill suggested he wants to leave the team after he missed out on a playoff place for the first time in his career.

The Dolphins suffered a 32-20 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday to finish the season with an 8-9 record, missing out on an AFC wildcard spot.

Hill sat out the fourth quarter of that defeat, with Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel stating it was not injury-related.

The 30-year-old still has two years left on his contract but turned in his worst season with the Dolphins in 2024, finishing with 959 yards and six touchdowns on 81 catches after posting back-to-back 1,700-yard seasons in his first two years.

When asked by reporters in the locker room what his message would be to the rest of the team as their captain, he said: "I don't even know.

"This is my first time I haven't been in the playoffs. For me, I just have to do what's best for me and my family - if that's here or wherever the case may be.

"I'm about to open up that door for myself ... I'm out, bro. It was great playing here, but at the end of the day, I have to do what's best for my career.

"I'm too much of a competitor to just be out there."

Hill, who was traded to the Dolphins from the Kansas City Chiefs in 2022, later offered a message to Miami fans on social media.

"Love fin nation blessing y’all opened doors for the Hill family forever," he wrote on X.

"Nothing but respect and love."
