A few weeks ago, speculation was running rampant on whether the Miami Dolphins would trade Tyreek Hill, complete with possible destinations. That ‘dream’ is now dead after Hill suffered a torn ACL in Miami’s Week 4 win. Hill is now out for the remainder of the 2025-26 season, and there are serious doubts about whether he’ll ever play another snap in a Dolphins uniform again.
Hill is under contract through the 2026 season, but he has a far too expensive cap hit of $51.8 million next season. That’s a lot of money for a 32-year-old coming off season-ending knee surgery.
However, according to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, league sources “expect” Hill to be released by the Dolphins far before the 2026 season kicks off.
Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, indicated that the talented speedster would like to return to Miami next season. He also indicated that Hill should be ready in time for Week 1 of next season, allowing the All-Pro to give his team a full workload.
Yet, he also admitted that both sides will likely have to return to the negotiation table to continue their four-year relationship. As we’ve seen many times before, any time money gets involved, there’s always the possibility of ending up in a new city, and that could be the case with Hill too.
If the Dolphins can’t return to contention after what’s been a tough start so far, we don’t imagine Hill will be itching to get back on the field with his former teammates. He may very well eye a more competitive situation, just as he may have been seeking this past offseason with his trade request. Though, after suffering a major knee injury, the interest in Hill won’t be nearly as high as it likely would have been last offseason.
