NFL News: Dolphins shake up Mike McDaniel's staff in bold move to keep Tyreek Hill

Tyreek Hill recently expressed his desire to leave the Miami Dolphins for the 2025 season. In response, the AFC East club has made significant changes to Mike McDaniel‘s staff in an effort to make the star wide receiver feel more comfortable.

In 2022, the Dolphins executed a blockbuster trade to strengthen their offense by acquiring Tyreek Hill from the Kansas City Chiefs, aiming to provide Tua Tagovailoa with one of the league’s premier wide receivers.

Hill’s first two seasons in Miami were exceptional. However, after a disappointing 2024 season, Hill requested to leave the Dolphins, a move the team is determined to prevent.

In the 2024 season, Hill faced multiple injuries that kept him off the field for several games. Combined with Tua Tagovailoa’s four-game absence, the Dolphins’ season ended in disappointment.

Despite narrowly missing the playoffs, Hill announced his intention to leave the team. However, Miami remains committed to retaining him for the 2025 season.

Following this challenging campaign, Mike McDaniel has already initiated major changes to his coaching staff. The Dolphins recently announced the departure of Wes Welker, their wide receivers coach and pass game specialist.

Welker, who coached the Dolphins’ wide receivers from 2022 to 2024, played a pivotal role in Hill’s back-to-back 1,700-yard seasons. Yet, after a tough year, the team believes a new WR coach could better support Hill’s performance.
