“I can certainly say with certainty that at this certain moment [Hill won’t be traded],” McDaniel said, per The Miami Herald’s Isaiah Smalls. “We are fully planning to move forward for a better version of our relationship with Tyreek.”

“I know what has been put on display during the regular season when we had a fully attacking Tyreek Hill in the offseason—being the pace car for all the sprints, all those things,” McDaniel said. “And I fully expect to get a better version of that horse—that’s the reason he was voted captain. That’s been the biggest thing: There’s been a lot of work that we don’t publicize.”
