The team could benefit from adding a vertical threat on offense for Justin Herbert to throw to. That’s part of the reason why CBS Sports writer Tyler Sullivan listed the Chargers as a potential landing spot for Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill if he were to be traded.
“As we noted, Hill almost certainly will require a new deal with whichever team he’s traded to, which could
alter the price tag. While he has no guaranteed money remaining on his deal, Hill currently has a bloated $29.9 million base salary and a $51.1 million cap hit, so there will need to be some sort of adjustment,” Sullivan wrote.
“Further diluting his value, the veteran is set to enter his age-32 season and is coming off a 2025 season where he was limited to four games due to a gruesome left knee injury that included a torn ACL he suffered in Week 4. Teams will need to get a good prognosis on Hill’s recovery before trading for him, so a deal revolving around him would likely need to feature conditional draft pick compensation linked to playing time/production. If he’s able to come close to his former self, however, he’s a dynamic weapon.”
Hill, who turns 32 next month, comes as a flight risk given his off-field conduct, but as a player on the gridiron, he is still potentially one of the elite wideouts in the NFL.
Hill played just four games this season, grabbing 21 passes for 265 yards and a touchdown, before tearing his ACL in Week 4. He is expected to be ready in time for the upcoming season, and the Chargers might be able to get him on a discount if they were to make a trade.
It might only cost the Chargers a day three pick to get Hill on board, and if that is the case, the Chargers should truly consider the idea of trading for him.
