JULY 26: Hill will not face misdemeanor charges, as the Miami-Date State Attorney’s Office confirmed on Wednesday (via Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald). The NFL’s investigation remains ongoing, though, and Hill indicated that he (like the Dolphins themselves) remains in communication with the league while awaiting to see if discipline is handed down.
JULY 24: Most of the news around the NFL is tied to training camps at the moment, but a different development has taken place on Monday with respect to Tyreek Hill. The Dolphins wideout has seen last month’s incident at a Miami-area marina come to a legal end.
A joint statement from the attorneys representing Hill and the unnamed marina employee he allegedly assaulted reads: “The parties to the incident which occurred on June 18th, 2023 at the Haulover Marina involving Tyreek Hill have resolved their differences” (Twitter link via ESPN’s Adam Schefter).
Hill is alleged to have slapped the employee during a dispute that came about after he and others attempted to board a boat without permission. Hill offered to pay the victim (who was unaware of Hill’s identity at the time) $200, but he declined. A police investigation ensued, with surveillance footage being reviewed and witnesses from the incident interviewed.
The NFL opened its own investigation shortly thereafter, and requested to speak with all members of law enforcement involved in the case. To no surprise, the league has not handed down any supplemental discipline as of yet, with the legal process ongoing until today. It will be interesting to monitor how much of an effect (if any) Monday’s news has on the NFL’s view of the Hill situation.
The 29-year-old’s past could play a role in punishment being handed down. Any missed time would mark a signficant blow for Miami’s offense, since last year’s blockbuster trade acquisition set new career highs in receptions (119) and yards (1,710) in 2022, earning him a seventh Pro Bowl and fourth All-Pro nod. In any event, Hill’s latest legal situation appears to be behind him.
Based on recent trends, the NFL is likely to go easy on him since he’s a top player. They only make examples of those who are more expendable
So he bought his way out of it.
His amazing speed makes him a millionaire.
His stupidity will continue to get in his own way.
how much would make you go away if he slapped you in the face? considering I’d probably have to give my attorney like a quarter of it at least I would say like 20k
Lawyers usually smack you for a third some even 50%
in that case its gonna need to be 50k
Should have traded him to the Panthers. The NFL is soft and these owners cow-tow to the players way to much by letting them tell them who they are going to play for. If you own the team, you make the decisions, not the player. Play out your contract or get traded to the worst team in the league. End of story.
Lol. Resolved their differences meaning a Scrooge McDuck style money bag sliding under the table. Doesn’t change the fact that Hill is a festering pile..but hey, you got money you can get out of anything.. he definitely represents everything the Dolphins stand for.
High class wide receiver. Low class human being.
The irony of course is that few fans give a hoot about a players character if he is on their favorite team helping them win games.
Players of this ilk I’d rather see in the xfl or usfl – nfl should demand better behavior and judgement.
Suspending players for betting but not for violence outside the playing field is hypocritical and reflects poorly on the league, owners and nflpa
You can’t compromise the outcome of a game by smacking somebody off the field. And the XFL and USFL are fine without the off field antics, on the field they may be 2nd rate talent, but they play hard and don’t seem to react to every ding and nick like a prima donna.
I’m miss your ‘compromise’ point – betting on games you’re not involved in offers no ‘compromise’ and players were suspended for such action (didn’t bet for or against their team).
Whether you bet on your own team or not gambling opens you up to compromise if you get in over your head. There’s a reason any gambling on the league is banned.
Dude beat his pregnant girlfriend and his baby boy. In a league rife with lowlifes, that makes him the worst in my book.
