While he has no guaranteed money remaining on his deal, Hill currently has a bloated $29.9 million base salary and a $51.1 million cap hit, so there will need to be some sort of adjustment,\u201d Sullivan wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cFurther diluting his value, the veteran is set to enter his age-32 season and is coming off a 2025 season where he was limited to four games due to a gruesome left knee injury that included a torn ACL he suffered in Week 4. Teams will need to get a good prognosis on Hill\u2019s recovery before trading for him, so a deal revolving around him would likely need to feature conditional draft pick compensation linked to playing time\/production. If he\u2019s able to come close to his former self, however, he\u2019s a dynamic weapon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Hill, who turns 32 next month, comes as a flight risk given his off-field conduct, but as a player on the gridiron, he is still potentially one of the elite wideouts in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Hill played just four games this season, grabbing 21 passes for 265 yards and a touchdown, before tearing his ACL in Week 4. He is expected to be ready in time for the upcoming season, and the Chargers might be able to get him on a discount if they were to make a trade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It might only cost the Chargers a day three pick to get Hill on board, and if that is the case, the Chargers should truly consider the idea of trading for him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">BFTB community, what are your thoughts on the possibility of trading for Hill?
