Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill reaches settlement following incident at a Miami marina

Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill has reached a settlement following an incident where he struck a man in the back of his head at a Miami marina last month.

“The parties to the incident which occurred on June 18th, 2023 at the Haulover Marina involving Tyreek Hill have resolved their differences,” both sides released in a statement to ESPN on Monday.

The Dolphins begin training camp on Wednesday, where Hill will begin his second season with the franchise as the highest paid receiver in the NFL, making $30 million annually.

The NFL did not respond to a request for comment on the situation. The Dolphins said they would not be commenting at this time.

According to the Miami-Dade Police Department in a report obtained by USA TODAY, the marina incident involving Hill occurred after two disputes.

Hill was one of two men fishing on the marina’s dock for tarpon, which he was informed was illegal. Two women in Hill’s party also boarded a docked boat before paying for services and were asked by the boat’s captain to exit because he did not want to be liable in the event of personal injuries, according to police.

The captain said Hill told him, “I can buy you and the boat” and “I’m No. 10 of the Miami Dolphins.” The alleged victim was also approached by Hill’s associate and offered $200 following the incident, according to police.

Miami-Dade Police sent their evidence to the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office, which began an investigation into the alleged assault and battery incident last month.

Hill, a Super Bowl champion with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2019, caught 119 passes for 1,710 yards and seven touchdowns in 2022 for the Dolphins.
