The Miami Dolphins have released controversial wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
Hill, who turns 32 on March 1, is currently recovering from a dislocated knee and torn ACL.
After four seasons in Miami, Hill will now hit the open market as an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his NFL career.
Despite his horrific injury, teams are still expected to line up to sign the veteran receiver, who was voted the NFL’s No. 1 player in the Top 100 after the 2023 season.
Back in October, Hill admitted he hadn’t yet decided if he was done playing football after suffering a season-ending knee injury against the New York Jets on September 29.
In an interview on the podcast of Terron Armstead, his former Dolphins teammate, Hill said he’d make up his mind about his career at some point but his focus was on recovering from surgery to repair significant damage to his left knee.

‘At the end of the day, I feel like that decision is based upon how I feel and where my mindset is at the moment,’ Hill said on the podcast. ‘I’m happy with the career that I’ve had. I love playing football. I love it, but it takes a lot. It takes a lot on you mentally, it takes a lot on you physically.
‘I’m at the point now where I need to have a conversation with mom, family, everybody. Wherever my mind is at the time, the decision will be made, but I know right now, I haven’t had time to live in the moment.’
Hill, 31, has played 10 NFL seasons. He posted consecutive 1,700-yard receiving campaigns in his first two years with Miami, including a league-leading 1,799 yards in 2023.
The five-time All-Pro entered last season aiming to regain that elite form after a relatively down year in 2024, when he recorded 81 catches for 959 yards – his lowest totals in both categories since 2019.
Whether Hill´s decorated career – which includes a Super Bowl title with Kansas City in 2020 – will continue remains uncertain.
