Free agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill<\/a> intends to play this season<\/a> after taking his time during rehabilitation from a torn ACL. The Dolphins cut Hill in February<\/a> prior to contract guarantees kicking in for the 2026 season. Hill’s extension signed last offseason was worth $90 million, with a final year cap hit of nearly $52 million.<\/p>\n

Drew Rosenhaus, Hill’s agent, said his client is waiting until medical clearance to sign with a new team. He wants to play for a contender.<\/p>\n

“He had a really tough injury. This wasn’t your run-of-the-mill ACLs,” Rosenhaus said during a recent appearance on the Stephen A. Smith Show<\/a>. “It was a multiple ligament injury, and he absolutely is on track for the start of the regular season. In talking to Tyreek, our focus is on him getting back to 100%. I spoke to his doctors recently. He’s on point to be ready for the season.”<\/p>\n

Hill recorded 21 catches for 265 yards and a touchdown last season, this coming after his production totals in 2024 marked the lowest of his career.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hill’s first two seasons with the Dolphins were arguably the best of his career, at least individually altering a pair of 119-catch, 1,700-yard seasons. His 13 touchdown catches in 2023 were the second-most in a single season during his career. Hill spent his first six years with the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>,\u00a0one of the teams that could pursue him<\/a>\u00a0as an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career. Hill is an eight-time Pro Bowl selection and won a Super Bowl<\/a> in Kansas City to end the 2019 season.<\/p>\n

Hill’s 11,363 career receiving yards rank ninth-most by a player in his first 10 seasons in NFL<\/a> history, and his 28 touchdowns of 50 yards or longer are the fourth-most all time. Despite last season’s injury, Hill should command considerable interest from a list of playoff-anxious suitors in need of a reliable target in the passing game.<\/p>\n

A “contender” could be any of the following teams seeking a pass-catching weapon \u2014 the Buffalo Bills<\/a>, Baltimore Ravens<\/a>, Los Angeles Chargers<\/a>, San Francisco 49ers<\/a> and New England Patriots<\/a> come to mind. The Minnesota Vikings<\/a> have reported interest in signing a new target for Kyler Murray<\/a>, whom they signed on a one-year deal.<\/p>\n

The Ravens committed to various veteran receivers in recent years, including signing DeAndre Hopkins<\/a>, Odell Beckham Jr<\/a>. and Dez Bryant<\/a>. The Patriots released Stefon Diggs<\/a> to improve cap space and, thus far, added Romeo Doubs in free agency<\/a> to lead their wideout group.<\/p>\n
