The Green Bay Packers and Miami Dolphins are in similar situations in that both teams are trying to prove that their quarterback is able to lead their team to a Super Bowl. Both Tua Tagovailoa and Jordan Love recently received massive contracts, keeping them with their respective teams for the foreseeable future.
That being said, the two teams are suddenly pegged to pull off a massive trade.
Packers-Dolphins Suddenly Enthralled In Massive Trade Speculation
The Dolphins might be best served by trading some of their best assets for a soft rebuild heading into the 2025 NFL season. Tyreek Hill is a good place to start:
Hill is in the second year of his $90 million deal with the Dolphins. He and the Dolphins agreed to restructure the contract this season to a base salary of $10 million. He is set to earn $51.8 million next season, but the Dolphins have an opt-out of his deal with a $15.5 million cap hit.
Several teams could be open to the possibility of adding the explosive, speedy receiver before he starts to diminish. Among those teams are the Green Bay Packers, who might look to surround quarterback Jordan Love with reliable weapons.
Green Bay ranked 12th in the league in passing offense and eighth in scoring offense. The Packers know they can be better with Love connecting with some of his weapons. Jayden Reed and Christian Watson had solid but inconsistent moments.
While fans may be skeptical about Green Bay making this kind of move, it should be remembered that they were clearly ready to pay DK Metcalf big bucks as they were interested in trading for him. Could Hill be a surprising replacement? Here is a look at his stats in 2024:
