The former Miami-Dade police officer who handcuffed Tyreek Hill is celebrating the wide receiver’s release from the team.
Back in 2024, Hill was pulled over for speeding and then handcuffed for being slow to roll down his window outside Hard Rock Stadium hours before a Dolphins game.
“I will say I could have been better,” Hill said while speaking to the media after the incident. “I could have let down my window in that instant. But the thing about me is, I don’t want attention. I don’t want to be cameras-out, phones-on-you in that moment. But at the end of the day, I’m human. I’ve got to follow rules. I’ve got to do what everyone else would do.”
“Now, does that give them the right to literally beat the dog out of me? Absolutely not,” Hill said. “But at the end of the day, I wish I could go back and do things a bit differently.”

Earlier this week, the Dolphins released Hill in a cost-cutting move.
Sources: Miami’s eight-time Pro-Bowl WR Tyreek Hill is being released. Hill turns 32 on March 1, is recovering from a dislocated knee and torn ACL, and now will be an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his NFL career.

“I guess it took a bit, but Karma got you. Now that I am retired I can tell you how I feel about you. You’re an entitled ASSH–E and an embarrassment to the team and city that kissed your a–. I wish you the best and hope you are able to afford ALL that child support, especially now that you’re unemployed. But I’m sure someone will pick you up and you will cause havoc in their team and city. Just how you did in Miami.”
