The Miami Dolphins’ time with star wide receiver Tyreek Hill is now over.
Hill is being released by the team, according to a league source on Monday morning, as new Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan has begun a purge of the roster as previously constructed under ex-GM Chris Grier.
Hill, who turns 32 on March 1, was cut along with outside linebacker Bradley Chubb, offensive guard James Daniels and wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine on Monday, according to a source.
The eight-time Pro Bowl and five-time All-Pro wide receiver Hill, who was prolific on the field but often faced trouble off the field now becomes a free agent. He is also rehabbing a gruesome knee injury from what now goes down as his final game with the Dolphins, Week 4 last season against the New York Jets.
Cutting Hill was always expected this offseason, even before the injury. The Dolphins stand to save nearly $23.9 million toward the salary cap with his release.
Hill was acquired via trade with the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2022 offseason after the Dolphins had hired now-former coach Mike McDaniel. In McDaniel’s offense and mostly with Tua Tagovailoa at quarterback, Hill had 340 receptions for 4,733 yards and 27 touchdowns in three-plus seasons in Miami. His fourth season was cut short four games in.
Also accounting for his six previous seasons with the Chiefs, Hill has 819 career catches for 11,363 yards and 83 touchdowns. He won a Super Bowl with Kansas City, which was played in Miami in 2020. Immediately following his trade to the Dolphins, the Chiefs won back-to-back Super Bowls.
After a standout 2023 season in which Hill led the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards, Miami, under Grier, added guarantees to his contract for the aging speedster. His production dipped in 2024 as he failed to reach 1,000 yards (959) for the first time in a fully healthy season since his rookie year back in 2016. That year, he also missed the Pro Bowl for the first time. The devastating knee injury followed early in 2025.
