Could the Baltimore Ravens pull off a game-changing move for Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill? Here’s why it makes sense—and how it could transform Baltimore into a perennial Super Bowl contender.
The Baltimore Ravens are heading into the playoffs as legitimate Super Bowl contenders, set to host the Pittsburgh Steelers in a high-stakes Wild Card showdown. But while the team focuses on postseason success, speculation about their offseason moves is already swirling—and one name stands out: Tyreek Hill.
The Miami Dolphins wideout, one of the NFL’s most electrifying playmakers, sent shockwaves through the league after Week 18 when he hinted at a possible departure from Miami. His blunt statement—”I’m out, bro”—has sparked rumors of a blockbuster trade, with the Ravens emerging as a potential suitor.
Hill’s frustrations boil over
Following Miami’s season-ending loss, Hill didn’t mince words about his future.
“There’s a lot of things that I need to reassess about my career,” Hill said. “I just gotta do what’s best for me and my family, whether that’s here or wherever the case may be. I’m finna open that door for myself. … I’m out, bro.”
If Hill follows through with a trade request, the Ravens could be an ideal fit for the star receiver.
Why Baltimore makes sense
According to Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports, the Ravens should be considered a serious contender in the race for Hill.
“While Zay Flowers is an emerging star and the Ravens lean plenty on the combined rushing talent of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, this team clearly wanted additional help out wide when it acquired Diontae Johnson at the in-season trade deadline. Hill would be a much splashier swing, but his speed would give the rocket-armed Jackson the most prolific deep threat he’s ever had,” Benjamin wrote.
Hill’s addition would provide Baltimore with a dynamic weapon that perfectly complements their offensive strengths. Pairing Hill’s elite speed with Lamar Jackson’s arm and Derrick Henry’s punishing ground game could create one of the most dangerous offenses in NFL history.
Hill’s 2024 performance and potential fit
While 2024 was a “down year” by Hill’s lofty standards, he still posted 81 receptions for 959 yards and six touchdowns. For most receivers, those numbers would be stellar; for Hill, they’re a baseline.
With the Ravens already boasting an offense capable of overpowering defenses, Hill could be the missing piece that takes them from great to unstoppable. His ability to stretch the field would open up opportunities for Zay Flowers and Diontae Johnson while giving Jackson a reliable deep threat.
Can the Ravens make it happen?
A trade for Hill won’t come cheap. The Ravens would need to offer a package enticing enough to convince Miami to part with their star, likely involving high draft picks and potentially key players.
However, Baltimore has shown a willingness to make bold moves in recent years. From trading for Derrick Henry to acquiring Diontae Johnson, the Ravens have demonstrated a win-now mentality. Adding Hill would align perfectly with their Super Bowl ambitions.
What’s next?
While it’s too early to say if Hill will indeed be on the move, his frustration in Miami and the Ravens’ offensive needs make this speculation more than just a pipe dream. If Baltimore is serious about solidifying its status as a perennial contender, pursuing Hill could be a franchise-altering move.
Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as the offseason unfolds, wondering if the Ravens will take the leap and bring “Cheetah” speed to Baltimore.
