Tyreek Hill Released by Dolphins

- The move will save the Dolphins approximately $22.8 million against the 2026 salary cap, though it also results in a $28.2 million dead cap charge. Miami avoided paying an $11 million bonus that would have become guaranteed in March. - Hill is currently recovering from a major injury sustained in Week 4 of the 2025 season, which included a dislocated left knee and a torn ACL. His effectiveness post-recovery is a significant question for any team interested in signing him, as his game relies heavily on speed. - Prior to his release, Hill carried a massive $51.1 million salary cap hit for the 2026 season. He was in the midst of a restructured three-year, $90 million deal that was set to run through the 2026 season. - Hill's release was part of a larger roster overhaul by the Dolphins, who also parted ways with pass rusher Bradley Chubb, guard James Daniels, and wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, clearing over $56 million in cap space. - This decision comes after a decline in production compared to his first two seasons in Miami. In 2022 and 2023, he recorded over 1,700 receiving yards each season; his numbers dipped in 2024, and his 2025 season was cut short by the injury. - The Dolphins' front office has undergone recent changes, with Jon-Eric Sullivan taking over as the new general manager and Jeff Hafley as the new head coach in 2026. - Throughout his tenure in Miami, Hill was involved in several off-field incidents, including a dispute with a marina employee, an altercation with police outside the stadium, and a domestic dispute that led to his wife filing for divorce. - Now an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career, the 32-year-old receiver's future will largely depend on his medical evaluations. A potential return to the Kansas City Chiefs has been suggested as a possibility.
