Houston Texans Acquire Wide Receiver Heading Into NFL Trade Deadline

The NFL season is heading into Week Nine, and that means it is a week closer to the NFL Trade Deadline. Teams will be major buyers and sellers as the true direction of teams is being showcased as to whether they are actual contenders or on the verge of a rebuild.

With the Miami Dolphins, they might be heading towards the rebuilding side of things, and need to be sellers at the trade deadline.

While it may seem shocking, the player they need to trade is Tyreek Hill. At 30 years old, Hill is still producing at a high level. This season he has 366 yards and a touchdown over 30 receptions, his lack of production mainly has to do with the inconsistent play at quarterback after Tua Tagovailoa was out with a concussion. Still, Hill is a valuable receiver, as shown by his back-to-back 1,700-plus yard seasons.

With being 2-5, and coming off a disappointing loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the playoffs look like a long shot now for the Dolphins. With that in mind, they need to get younger on the team, and how they do so is by acquiring premium draft capital, something they have lacked the last few seasons. The player to get that is Hill, and the team that needs him that’s a contender is the Houston Texans.

For the Texans, their wide receiver room has recently taken a hit. Nico Collins is out with a hamstring injury and was placed on IR until at least Week 10. And now it was announced Stefon Diggs is out for the season after suffering an ACL injury against the Indianapolis Colts. CJ Stroud is a talented quarterback, but can’t rely on just Tank Dell right now as his primary target. Hill would greatly help this wide receiver room, and keep the Texans on the trajectory they are on.
