Tyreek Hill, who had his best statistical season with theMiami Dolphins, claimed he was considered to join theNew York Jets, and the deal would’ve gone through had Adam Sandler just called him. Apart from being the biggest comedic actor in Hollywood right now, who has enjoyed a fortune of over $420M, Sandler is also a massiveNew York Jetsguy.
And per Hill, theSpacemanStar was the reason for his relocation to theMiami Dolphins, but the NFL Star isn’t complaining about how things turned out for him.
Tyreek Hill Deems Adam Sandler the Reason for Moving toMiami Dolphins
Speaking on thePunch Line Podcast, Tyreek Hill candidly revealed that before joining theDolphins, he would’ve requested a trade from theChiefsto theJetsin 2022 ifAdam Sandlerjust called him. Being a huge fan of the comedic icon, Hill claimed that his only request for the trade involved a call from Sandler, as theSpacemanStar is a massiveJetsguy. Unfortunately, the call never came through, and the NFL Star proceeded to settle for theDolphins.
“He didn’t call me, bro. I was almost a New York Jet. I’m a huge Adam Sandler guy and Adam Sandler loves the New York Jets so my request was, if Adam Sandler was to call me, and ask me to come play for the Jets, I would’ve went.”
It can’t be said for certain if it’s true, as back in 2022 when he was dealt, Hill was a free agent and had no agency to vote or veto his eventual landing spot. Irrespective of whether it was true or not, the Wide receiver doesn’t hold a grudge against Adam Sandler, as not going with theJetsended up benefiting his career.

Tyreek Hill received a four-year extension from theDolphins, which amounted toa massive $120 million, the highest for a wide receiver in the history of the NFL. And Hill made it count, as 2023 saw him leading the receiving yards and tied for the lead in receiving touchdowns, earning himself a Pro Bowl and First Team All-Pro honors. Hill even went to upset his idol as theDolphinsfaced theNew York Jetson two occasions this season.

Following his accomplishments, it’s reasonable to see why Hill has no ill will against Adam Sandler, as he even proclaimed the idea of working with Sandler on a potentialHustlesequel.
“I want to play in Hustle,”Hill said.“I love Adam Sandler. Bruh, he could’ve made a football Hustle movie, ya feel me?”

If Tyreek Hill’s statements are indeed true, had Sandler called him, we could’ve witnessed Hill and Aaron Rodgers playing together, which would’ve been a scene to behold. But on the flip side, it could also have resulted in Hill being benched for many games, which would’ve been a shame.
