Wide receiver Tyreek Hill is poised to sign with a new team this week, according to his longtime agent Drew Rosenhaus. The former Kansas City Chiefs star, who is 32, has been a free agent since the Miami Dolphins released him during the offseason following a season‑ending knee injury in September 2025.
Negotiations focus on playoff contenders
Rosenhaus told ESPN that Hill is actively negotiating with clubs that are positioned to compete for a championship this season. The New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens, both sitting at 3‑1, and the Kansas City Chiefs, who are 4‑0, are the leading suitors.
Chiefs still interested
Reports indicate that Kansas City has discussed bringing Hill back into the fold. The Chiefs, who drafted Hill in 2016 and enjoyed six successful seasons with him before his trade to Miami in 2022, are currently dealing with injuries to wideouts Tyquan Thornton (dislocated ankle) and Rashee Rice (hamstring). Despite those setbacks, the organization remains interested in adding Hill’s speed and play‑making ability to an already potent offense.
Hill’s recent activity
Hill hinted at a return last week, posting on X that he is “ready for some cold weather” and that it is “almost time to get off the couch and get to work.” He also shared an Instagram workout clip showing him running on the beach, with no visible issues stemming from the torn ACL and dislocated left knee he suffered 13 months ago.
Recent performance recap
In 2025, Hill appeared in four games for Miami, catching 26 passes for 265 yards and one touchdown. Prior to his injury, he was an eight‑time Pro Bowl selection and a five‑time first‑team All‑Pro, known for his game‑changing speed.
What Hill wants
Rosenhaus emphasized that Hill intends to play only for a contender. “He wants to be in a situation where he can compete for a championship,” the agent said. This preference narrows the field to teams with winning records and playoff aspirations.
Potential impact
If Hill signs with Kansas City, the Chiefs would regain a familiar target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, potentially offsetting the loss of Thornton and Rice. A move to New York or Baltimore would give those clubs a deep‑speed threat to complement their existing receiving corps.
Next steps
The exact timing of a contract agreement remains uncertain, but Rosenhaus expects a deal to be finalized within the week. Fans of the involved teams will be watching closely as the free‑agent market continues to shape the remainder of the 2026 NFL season.
