"Because the Patriots need to upgrade their receiving corps, Hill was immediately deemed an option to sign, despite being another aging player coming off a serious injury like Stefon Diggs. But most fans have no interest in bringing in a consistently problematic player, especially someone like Hill, who appeared excited that his season ended last year. Tyreek Hill would be a great addition to the Patriots roster in previous years, but not in 2026"
"That didn't stop analysts, like Robert Griffin III (RG3), from suggesting New England go after the 8-time Pro Bowler, as he believes he would be an impressive option for Drake Maye to work with. The problem is that fans aren't interested after seeing his antics during his four year tenure in Miami. The New England Patriots need to sign Tyreek Hill. Drake Maye was the best deep ball thrower in football this year."
Dolphins are entering a complete rebuild in the 2026 offseason and released several high-profile players, including Bradley Chubb and Tyreek Hill. Hill missed much of 2025 with an ACL tear and carries behavioral concerns from his Miami tenure. The Patriots need receiver upgrades and analysts suggested Hill as a fit for Drake Maye's deep passing ability. Fan sentiment and the culture Mike Vrabel is building in New England oppose signing a potentially disruptive veteran. Hill's age, injury recovery uncertainty, and off-field issues create significant risk despite his past production. New England must balance on-field upside against locker-room fit and long-term strategy.
