Few would argue that Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is a bit of a lightning rod.
He’s also one of the top wideouts in the NFL when he’s at the top of his game, which is why despite the headache Hill can be off the field, he’s still a highly coveted trade target if the Dolphins decide to move him.
Nearly two weeks ago, Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio reported the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs were two of the frontrunners to acquire Hill should he become available.
Now, as the Dolphins sit at 0-3 and the likelihood the eight-time Pro Bowler gets traded increases as the losses pile up, Florio claims one of those two teams may be out of the Hill sweepstakes.

“The Steelers have lost interest,” Florio wrote. “As one source recently explained it, the Steelers are concerned that the new Personal Conduct Policy investigation…could result in a suspension.”
Through three games, Hill has had one good game (six receptions, 109 yards) sandwiched around two average ones, yet he’s sixth in the NFL in receiving yards (198) and tied for sixth in receptions (15).
Hill would instantly give the Steelers offense a shot in the arm.

Outside of two-time Pro Bowler DK Metcalf, Pittsburgh lacks any true playmakers with game-breaking potential. Having Hill and Metcalf split out wide would give quarterback Aaron Rodgers one of the best 1-2 punches at WR that he’s had in his career.
“Whether [Hill is traded] depends on whether [Miami’s] record is closer to 0-9 than 6-3 when their Week 9 game against the Ravens ends,” Florio added. “By then, maybe the Steelers will decide that Hill is safe from a suspension for the balance of the season. Of course, if the Steelers are closer to 1-7 than 7-1 when the trade deadline arrives, it may not matter.”
