“I need to have a conversation with Mom, family, everybody,” said Tyreek Hill as he reflects on his future following his release from the Miami Dolphins on February 16, 2026.
Hill, who is currently a free agent, is recovering from a major leg injury that he sustained during the 2025 season. The injury, a knee dislocation, required surgery for an ACL tear in September 2025, significantly impacting his playing time and performance.
In 2025, Hill recorded 21 catches for 265 yards and 1 touchdown, a stark contrast to his previous seasons where he was one of the league’s top receivers. He had signed a three-year, $90 million reworked extension with Miami in August 2024, which included a hefty $51.1 million cap hit for 2026 with no guaranteed money left.
Hill’s release has created $22.8 million in cap space for the Dolphins, part of a broader wave of player transactions in the NFL offseason. Despite the setback, Hill remains optimistic about his career, stating, “I’m happy with the career that I’ve had and I love playing football. I love it.” His agent has indicated that Hill intends to play in the upcoming NFL season, despite the magnitude of his injury.
As of March 2026, Hill is 32 years old and his next destination may take longer to materialize due to his injury and age. Medical clarity on Hill’s rehab timeline is needed before teams can make decisions about signing him.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding when or if Hill will play in 2026, and ongoing lawsuits related to off-field incidents during his tenure with the Dolphins may further complicate his free agency prospects.
As fans and analysts alike wonder, “Where is Tyreek Hill going?” the future remains uncertain as he navigates this challenging period in his career.
