Miami’s Star Wide Receiver Reiterates Commitment to Team Amid Trade Rumors
Despite a sluggish start to the season and whispers of a potential trade, Miami’s dynamic wide receiver has reaffirmed his desire to remain with the team. Following a disappointing performance in Monday night’s loss, which saw him haul in just four catches for 23 yards, the speedy receiver faced speculation about a possible return to his former team.
However, during a post-practice chat with reporters on Wednesday, he put those rumors to rest, expressing his commitment to the organization. “I’m all about the present moment,” he said. “We’ve got a fantastic team here, and I want to be a part of it. My family loves it here, I love it, the weather’s great, and the fans are amazing. We’ve got a fantastic situation, and I’d love to stay.”
When asked about his animated conversation on the sidelines during Monday’s game, his coach came to his defense, saying, “I’d expect him to be visibly upset. He’s a leader, and he wants to do everything he can to ensure we get the result we want.” The coach added that the team’s locker room is filled with players challenging each other to be their best.
The talented receiver has been a game-changer for Miami since his arrival in 2022, leading the league in receiving yards and setting career highs in consecutive seasons. He has consistently stated his desire to remain with the team long-term, even suggesting last offseason that he’d like to retire with Miami someday. With a restructured contract worth $90 million over the next three years, it appears he’s committed to making that vision a reality.
