Dolphins release star receiver Tyreek Hill after 4 seasons in Miami, Sources Say
The Dolphins freed $22.8 million in salary cap space by releasing Hill, who is recovering from a severe knee injury and now enters free agency for the first time.
- On Monday morning, the Miami Dolphins released wide receiver Tyreek Hill as part of multiple roster cuts, a move confirmed by league sources.
- Facing cap pressure, Miami's front office determined Hill's $51.1 million cap hit and $17.4 million overage, plus injuries and salary costs, made his release necessary.
- Across his Miami tenure, Hill amassed 340 receptions, 4,733 yards, and 28 touchdowns in 54 games but played only four times in 2025 after a dislocated left knee and multi-ligament surgery in late September.
- The move immediately frees cap space, as the Miami Dolphins save roughly $22.8 million and clear nearly $67 million across four cuts; Tyreek Hill is now an unrestricted free agent but must pass a physical before signing.
- Drew Rosenhaus said `does intend to play next season,` while teams like Kansas City and Los Angeles are potential fits, with recovery typically nine to 12 months.
