Report: Dolphins Release WR Tyreek Hill

Tyreek Hill becomes an unrestricted free agent after a knee injury ended his 2025 season, with his release saving the Dolphins $22.8 million in salary cap space.

  • On Monday, Feb. 16, 2026, the Miami Dolphins released wide receiver Tyreek Hill, making him an unrestricted free agent for the first time, ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported.
  • After a 2025 season-ending injury, Tyreek Hill suffered a dislocated knee and torn ACL four games in, and his production declined as he expressed uncertainty about continuing.
  • Hill spent four seasons in Miami, led the NFL in receiving in 2023, and played six seasons with Kansas City, winning Super Bowl 54 in 2020.
  • The move saves the Dolphins $22.8 million, and multiple teams including the Kansas City Chiefs are considered potential landing spots for Tyreek Hill, according to NFL coverage on February 16.
  • Hill guaranteed his NFL return shortly after the release, but a Chiefs reunion faces nearly $55 million cap hurdles and doubts about readiness for the early portion of the 2026 campaign.
