One of Tyreek Hill\u2019s former teammates didn\u2019t waste any time trying to recruit the eight-time Pro Bowler back to Kansas City.<\/p>\n

Chris Jones, who overlapped with Hill for the first six years of their career and won a Super Bowl together, tagged Hill\u2019s X account in a post and wrote, \u201cIt\u2019s [time]\u201d \u2014using a clock emoji \u2014 just seven hours after news broke about the Dolphins planning to release the injured wide receiver<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kansas City has already emerged as one of the logical destinations for Hill, according to ESPN, along with the Chargers <\/a>\u2014 where former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is now the offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s where Hill starred after being a fifth-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, finishing with more than 1,000 receiving yards in four seasons and becoming one of the trusted targets Patrick Mahomes used while constructing the foundation for the Chiefs\u2019 dynasty.<\/p>\n

But in March 2022, around two months after the Chiefs lost to the Bengals in the AFC Championship game, Kansas City stunningly traded Hill to the Dolphins, and that\u2019s where he spent the last four seasons.<\/p>\n

Hill opened his Miami stint with consecutive 1,000-yard campaigns, including one in 2023 where he finished with an NFL-best 1,799 receiving yards, but he hasn\u2019t topped 965 yards in each of the last two seasons. Miami will save roughly $23 million in salary cap space by releasing Hill. <\/p>\n

Off-field issues also emerged throughout his tenure with the Dolphins, as his estranged wife alleged in September<\/a> that eight instances of domestic violence occurred during the course of their 17-month marriage.<\/p>\n

Hill tore his left ACL, dislocated his knee and sustained other ligament damage<\/a> just four games into the 2025 campaign, but he vowed in an Instagram post Monday \u2014 after reports of his Dolphins release \u2014 that the \u201cjourney doesn\u2019t stop here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery chapter in life has taught me something,\u201d Hill wrote, in part, in his statement<\/a>. \u201cThis one taught me leadership, resilience, and mostly gratitude. The love I have for this game is unexplainable. And right now, this off season, for the first time ever, The Cheetah is all the way turned up and locked in. Focused.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 The Cheetah don\u2019t slow down. Ever. So to everyone wondering what\u2019s next\u2026 just wait on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jones hopes it\u2019ll involve Kansas City.<\/p>\n
