"Eighteen months ago, Tyreek Hill agreed to a restructured contract with the Miami Dolphins. He was coming off back-to-back seasons with over 1,700 receiving yards and was the cornerstone of one of the league's best offenses. Early on President's Day 2026, weeks before the start of free agency begins March 11, the Dolphins released Hill. The franchise is in a very different place now than it was then. It has a new coach in Jeff Hafley and a new general manager in Jon-Eric Sullivan."
"Hill signed a four-year, $120 million extension with the Dolphins in 2022, and agreed to a restructured deal in 2024 that pushed his guaranteed money to $106.5 million -- an NFL record for a skill player. He didn't have any guaranteed money coming in 2026, but the receiver still carried a $51.1 million cap hit this season. The cap numbers were tolerable when Hill was productive, but his past two seasons were a far cry from his first two in Miami."
Tyreek Hill was released by the Miami Dolphins on President's Day 2026, weeks before free agency. The franchise has new leadership with coach Jeff Hafley and general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan after consecutive seasons without playoff appearances. Hill's production declined following two dominant seasons, and he missed most of 2024 due to a dislocated knee and torn ACL. He had restructured his contract to secure $106.5 million in guarantees but carried a $51.1 million cap hit in 2026 with no new guarantees. The move lowers the Dolphins' cap burden and makes Hill available in free agency.
