The 2025 NFL offseason officially began for all 32 teams one week ago. While no moves can officially be made until the start of the new league year on March 12, teams are allowed to begin trade talks. This is increasingly important for the Los Angeles Chargers this offseason, given the amount of marquee wider receivers that seem to be on the market.
Currently, both Cooper Kupp and Deebo Samuel are available on the trade market. That said, Miami Dolphins star receiver Tyreek Hill could be on the move this offseason, too. Following their Week 18 finale, Hill made his displeasure with how the season went known and insinuated he wanted out of Miami.
Since then, Hill has clarified he's fine staying in Miami, but rumors about a potential trade still persist.
During Super Bowl week, the Ringer's Bill Simmons tried to get Hill on his podcast "The Bill Simmons Podcast" to recruit him to the New England Patriots. However, his attempt failed, but according to Simmons, someone in Hill's camp said to watch out for the Chargers.
With that in mind, let's explore what it would take for Hill to come to Los Angeles.
Chargers Land All-Pro WR Tyreek Hill in Projected Trade
Last offseason, the Houston Texans traded a second-round pick for Stefon Diggs, a sixth-round pick in 2024 and a fifth-round pick in 2025. Although Diggs was entering his age 30 season, he was coming off a great 2023. In 2023, Digg recorded 106 receptions on 160 targets for 1,183 yards and nine touchdowns.
Houston acquiring the Buffalo Bills No.1 receiver for only a second-round pick seemed like a steal, even if he was aging. Unfortunately for Diggs, his 2024 season got cut short due to injury. Even so, in eight games, Diggs recorded 47 receptions for 496 yards and three touchdowns as the No.2 or No.3 receiver on the depth chart.
If the Chargers were to bring Hill in, he would arguably become their No.1 receiver. Even though Ladd McConkey had a great rookie season, cementing himself as a star, Hill is on another level. As a result, it would certainly take more than just a second-round pick to acquire Hill.
Hill's poor 2024 season of 81 receptions on 123 targets for 959 yards and six touchdowns would have put him right behind McConkey this season. That says a lot, given Hill played with horrendous backup quarterback play most of the season.
While the Dolphins asking for a first-round pick may be a little steep for a receiver who is over 30, a second-round pick and a few other picks seem reasonable.
A move like this can take Los Angeles's offense to new heights in 2025.
