Tyreek Hill is the latest wide receiver to get more money.
The five-time All-Pro and the Miami Dolphins agreed to a restructured contract Saturday worth $90 million with $65 million guaranteed, his agent told The Associated Press.
The deal negotiated by Drew and Jason Rosenhaus raises Hill’s four-year total of fully guaranteed money to $106.5 million. It’s the most guaranteed money added to a contract without adding extra years.
Hill did not participate in Saturday’s team workout or speak with reporters but posted “I’m here to stay” on his social media platform.
The 30-year-old Hill caught 119 passes for a league-leading 1,799 yards and 13 touchdowns last season. Hill has reached 1,700 receiving yards in the first two seasons since Miami acquired him from the Kansas City Chiefs.
