Dolphins Locker Room Casts Aside Tyreek Hill As Mike McDaniel Announces Decision on WR

The Miami Dolphins are stepping into 2025 with a very different kind of leadership group. Terron Armstead retired, Calais Campbell went back to Arizona, and Jalen Ramsey was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Even linebacker David Long Jr.—who was also voted as a captain—was cut midseason.

And just when it seemed things couldn’t spiral any further, Tyreek Hill stepped in front of reporters at OTAs in May and admitted he doesn’t feel he deserves to be captain. After three straight years wearing that captain badge in Miami, Hill told the media he’d have to earn the trust of his teammates all over again. Now, Mike McDaniel has made it official—Hill won’t be part of the Dolphins’ captain group this year.

Instead, Tua Tagovailoa, Aaron Brewer, Alec Ingold, Zach Sieler, Jordyn Brooks, and Bradley Chubb will carry the responsibility. All hand-picked to fill the void Hill has left behind.

With a lingering wrist and oblique injury keeping him sidelined through camp—and possibly until Week 1 against the Colts—Hill has become the Dolphins’ biggest concern.

This is a developing story. Stay tuned!
