Tyreek Hill takes shot at Steve Smith after former Panthers WR unleashes criticism on Jerry Jeudy
There is a three-way fight between Steve Smith, Tyreek Hill and Jerry Jeudy. The former NFL player absolutely took apart the Denver Broncos wide receiver before his game against the reigning Super Bowl champions, Kansas City Chiefs.
It came against the backdrop of rumors that Jeudy is possibly going to be traded away by the Broncos before the end-of-month deadline. Denver came into the game with a 1-4 record and the season looking nearly over before it even began.
With Russell Wilson's trade from the Seattle Seahawks having taken away a lot of their draft picks and the team going nowhere, it looks like coach Sean Payton is willing to put a lot of people on the chopping block.
In this context, Steve Smith said had some opinions about the wide receiver. He said that if anyone called him asking if they should trade for the Broncos wide receiver, he would advise them not to.
"You're an average WR. Don't trade for Jerry Jeudy, because he mentally unable to handle criticism. He's a tier 3 WR."
It prompted a strong response from another current NFL wide receiver. The Miami Dolphins' Tyreek Hill jumped in and skewered Steve Smith, comparing him to the cook from the movie "Deep Blue Sea".
"Who would of thought the cook from deep blue sea was also an analyst?"
Is Tyreek Hill defending Jerry Jeudy against Steve Smith because he might be a future teammate?
There are many destinations available for Jerry Jeudy irrespective of what Steve Smith says. And Miami Dolphins might be one of them.
The Dolphins do not need any more explosiveness on offense, one would assume. But despite having Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill, they still traded for Chase Claypool from the Chicago Bears. It shows that they are intent on developing depth at the wide receiver position.
Consider also that Vic Fangio is now the defensive coordinator in Miami and was the head coach when Jerry Jeudy was drafted. Additionally, the wide receiver has already played with Tua Tagovailoa during his college football career in Alabama.
Therefore, there seem to be a lot of spots available for the Broncos wide receiver. The Dolphins might just be one of them.
