Tyreek Hill Marina Incident Reaches Resolution

JULY 26: Hill will not face misdemeanor charges, as the Miami-Date State Attorney’s Office confirmed on Wednesday (via Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald). The NFL’s investigation remains ongoing, though, and Hill indicated that he (like the Dolphins themselves) remains in communication with the league while awaiting to see if discipline is handed down.

JULY 24: Most of the news around the NFL is tied to training camps at the moment, but a different development has taken place on Monday with respect to Tyreek Hill. The Dolphins wideout has seen last month’s incident at a Miami-area marina come to a legal end.

A joint statement from the attorneys representing Hill and the unnamed marina employee he allegedly assaulted reads: “The parties to the incident which occurred on June 18th, 2023 at the Haulover Marina involving Tyreek Hill have resolved their differences” (Twitter link via ESPN’s Adam Schefter).

Hill is alleged to have slapped the employee during a dispute that came about after he and others attempted to board a boat without permission. Hill offered to pay the victim (who was unaware of Hill’s identity at the time) $200, but he declined. A police investigation ensued, with surveillance footage being reviewed and witnesses from the incident interviewed.

The NFL opened its own investigation shortly thereafter, and requested to speak with all members of law enforcement involved in the case. To no surprise, the league has not handed down any supplemental discipline as of yet, with the legal process ongoing until today. It will be interesting to monitor how much of an effect (if any) Monday’s news has on the NFL’s view of the Hill situation.

The 29-year-old’s past could play a role in punishment being handed down. Any missed time would mark a signficant blow for Miami’s offense, since last year’s blockbuster trade acquisition set new career highs in receptions (119) and yards (1,710) in 2022, earning him a seventh Pro Bowl and fourth All-Pro nod. In any event, Hill’s latest legal situation appears to be behind him.
