“You Stuck With Tua Tagovailoa”: Fans Get Real as Tyreek Hill’s Reaction to Jalen Ramsey Trade Goes Viral
The 2024 season was a frustrating one for the Miami Dolphins, and especially for Tyreek Hill. The speedy wideout posted his lowest receptions-per-game and yards-per-game numbers since his rookie year. After a Week 18 loss to the lowly Jets, Hill essentially said he wanted out of Miami.
But he and the team eventually came back together, and Hill’s tone had been much more positive in recent months. Until this Monday, that is. That’s when the Dolphins traded veterans Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith, along with a seventh-round pick, to the Steelers for safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and a fifth-rounder.
It was an ironic twist of fate. Hill had considered leaving earlier in the offseason, decided to stay, and now his close teammates are being traded instead. Not surprisingly, Tyreek Hill’s reaction was a pretty disappointed one:

The GIF in Hill’s tweet is of the final episode of the popular 1990s sitcom “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” The shot is of star Will Smith standing in the family’s living room after everything (and everyone) has moved out. The similarities between that and the situation Hill now finds himself in are pretty clear.
Steelers fans have a go at Tyreek Hill
Most of the replies under Hill’s tweet came from Steelers fans. Apparently, they weren’t satisfied with the haul they got from the Fins. “Come to Pittsburgh too,” said one.
“You could’ve come to Pittsburgh too bum,” quipped another. “Steelers still need a WR,” chimed in a third. While it is true that Pittsburgh still has a WR2 slot open, we can’t imagine they’re going to spend any more draft capital on another aging star.
Meanwhile, other fans had less sympathy for Hill. One was essentially laughing at Hill as he replied, “You stuck with Tua,” with an AI-generated image of Hill shedding a tear.
In 2023, the Dolphins had the most exciting offense in football. And now, just over a year later, it’s essentially being sold for parts.
They still have the three most important parts of that potent offense: QB Tua Tagovailoa, and receivers Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill. But for how much longer? They are paying that trio about 30 percent of their total salary cap, and they also have the third-fewest cap space in the league.
Miami seem to have found themselves in that unfortunate and nebulous slot: somewhere between being an actul Super Bowl tanking team of the month candidate. Now, they have a devcision to make. Should they continue to waste their top trio’s prime years, or try and make a move to get younger and start afresh?
Either way, they need to decise fast. Because it’s clear that this iteration of the team is not working as intended.
