Tyreek Hill is poised to become one of the hottest names on the free agent market in March as the Miami Dolphins plan to release the wide receiver, according to multiple reports.
The star receiver was among the players who don’t appear to fit the organization’s roster plans for the 2026 season. Miami is also reportedly close to releasing star pitcher Bradley Chubb, offensive lineman James Daniels and wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.

Hill, who turns 32 on March 1, is recovering from a season-ending injury he suffered Sept. 29 against the New York Jets. He required surgery to repair significant damage to his left knee, including a torn ACL.
Miami acquired Hill in a blockbuster trade with the Kansas City Chiefs before the start of the 2022 season. He signed a four-year extension, worth up to $120 million. This made him the highest paid player at his position at the time. The deal, which ran through the 2026 season, would have been worth a cap hit of $51 million.
Hill was a standout player on the field despite tough times off the field.
He was All-Pro in his first two seasons with the Dolphins. He played in 54 games and made 340 catches for 4,733 yards and 27 touchdowns. He hasn’t had the same success in the playoffs as he did with the Chiefs.

Off the field, the drama in Hill’s personal life made headlines. He was also arrested during an altercation with law enforcement outside Hard Rock Stadium in 2024.
He said in October that he was undecided whether he wanted to continue playing beyond the 2025 season.
“At the end of the day, I feel like this decision is based on how I feel and my mindset at the time,” he said on the podcast with Terron Armstead, Hill’s former teammate on the Dolphins. “I’m happy with the career I’ve had. I love playing football. I love it, but it takes a lot. It takes a lot mentally, it takes a lot physically.
“I’m at the point where I need to have a conversation with mom, my family, everyone. Wherever I am at that moment, the decision will be made, but I know right now I haven’t had time to live in the moment.”
