Tyreek Hill posts cryptic meme on social media after Dolphins bench Tua Tagovailoa
NEWNow you can listen to News articles!
The Miami Dolphins made a quarterback change on Wednesday and Tyreek Hill didn’t seem happy about it.
Quinn Ewers has been named the starter amid Tua Tagovailoa’s struggles, including a 28-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday.
Part of the Dolphins’ problems definitely has to do with Hill’s injury. The star receiver tore his ACL in Week 4 against the New York Jets.

Despite being ostracized, he seemed to have made his opinion on the matter known by posting an infamous meme.
Shortly after news of Tagovailoa’s benching broke, Hill posted a GIF of a man flashing a peace sign and disappearing.
Hill seemed to have issues with the Dolphins in the past, who acquired him in a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs. After the final game of the 2024 season, Hill said he was “out.”

BANK OF DOLPHINS FIGHTING FOR TUA TAGOVAILOA AFTER GROSS PERFORMANCE AGAINST STEELERS: REPORTS
“It was great to play here, but at the end of the day, I have to do what’s best for my career because I’m too much of a competitor to be out there,” Hill said at the time.
The parties apparently settled the matter because Hill did not budge. But it’s pretty clear that Hill doesn’t want Ewers, the seventh-round rookie, to pitch to him anytime soon.
Tagovailoa’s benching is surprising considering he is in the first season of a four-year, $212 million contract extension he signed in July 2024 with $167 million guaranteed.
But this season, the former Alabama quarterback leads the NFL in interceptions with 15. Tagovailoa has struggled in 14 games, completing 67.7% of his passes for 2,660 yards with 20 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.

The Dolphins could have chosen zack wilson take control instead of Ewers, but turned to the rookie. In limited action, Ewers completed five of eight passes for 53 yards.
