Tyreek Hill eyes extension, wants to stay with Dolphins

NFL: Pro Bowl-NFC at AFC

Reporting on the first day of Dolphins training camp, star wide receiver Tyreek Hill wants to be paid like his contemporaries but also expressed his desire to remain in Miami.

"Obviously, I let (agent) Drew (Rosenhaus) and the team handle that situation," said the 30-year-old Hill, who still has three years remaining on his contract. "The only thing I told Drew was, ‘Do not get me traded, bro.' Last time you did this, you got me traded. That's been my only thing to him. I want to stay here in Miami.

"Obviously, this is where my family is now. Everybody loves it here. Family loves it, wife loves it, kids love it. Obviously, I love playing for coach (Mike McDaniel), and my teammates are awesome. I wouldn't want to leave."

When he signed a four-year, $120 million deal with the Dolphins before the 2023 season, Hill -- who will make $19.665 million in 2024 -- was the highest-paid wideout in the NFL. This offseason, three wide receivers have eclipsed him in terms of average annual earnings.

The Vikings' Justin Jefferson reset the market with a four-year, $140 million contract ($35 million per season) that eclipsed the $32 million per year Eagles wideout A.J. Brown receives. Amon-Ra St. Brown signed a four-year deal worth $30.002 million per year with the Lions.

Hill's teammate, Jaylen Waddle, signed a three-year, $84.75 million extension in May that keeps him under contract through 2028 at a total value of $104.6 million. Waddle will make slightly more ($19.928M) than Hill in 2024.

An eight-time Pro Bowl selection, Hill posted a career-high, NFL-leading and franchise-record 1,799 receiving yards in 2023 to become the first player in NFL history to record 1,700-plus receiving yards in multiple seasons.

What is ‘wildfire containment?’ How to interpret updates on the fires

Firefighters continue to make progress containing the Palisades and Eaton Fires Monday, after the blazes spent almost a week out of control.  Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the Eaton Fire was one-third contained. Meanwhile, the Palisades Fire is hovering around 14% containment. The Kenneth, Sunset, and Lidia Fires are all 100% contained, and the figure for the Hurst sits at 89%. But readers may find this nomenclature confusing. When authorities report that a fire is “contained,” it does not necessarily mean it has been extinguished.  According to Cal Fire, “containment is a measure of the amount of line around a wildfire.
