It sounds like the New York Jets were just a chasing horse.
The Tyreek Hill Lottery, which won the Miami Dolphins, moved quickly on Wednesday. Reports before the quick receiver exchange from Kansas City indicated that the Jets and Dolphins were finalists, but Hill disputed the idea that the Jets were ever close at his opening press conference in Miami.
“How close was I? WHO? Jets? Hill asked. “I knew I would choose Miami no matter what because I am mostly from here, I am here all the time. This is a home for me, for us.”

The Dolphins traded five draft picks, including a first-round pick in 2022, to the Hill’s Chiefs. They also signed a new four-year, $120 million contract.
The Jets reportedly did not include a first round player in their offer to the Chiefs, but based on how draft evaluation works, their offer including two second round players would have been accepted by Kansas City if Hill wanted to play. for Gang Green.
There is no state income tax in Florida, while more than 80 percent of Hill’s one-year $30 million deal will be taxed at a rate of 10.75 percent in New Jersey, where the Jets play.
