If the Miami Dolphins receiver wants to be traded, find a trade.
There’s a plane leaving town every few minutes. Nobody’s going to miss him too much if he’s on one.
Two personally good years don’t give Hill carte blanche to be a constant off-field headache in his third year: Arriving late for meetings; blaming the coach for his dropped catches; quitting on his team by refusing to re-enter a game; throwing a diva tantrum in wanting to be traded — “I’m out, bro”; and contributing to his position coach, Wes Welker, being fired on Friday.
Forgiving media and his agent say Hill doesn’t really want to be traded.
