Former Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill is still a free agent amid the torrent of NFL offseason roster changes.
The Dolphins released Hill, 31, according to reports confirmed by The Palm Beach Post on Monday, Feb. 16.
It was the highest-profile move from a wave of player transactions, which have continued into March. Jaylen Waddle, Hill’s fellow star wide receiver with the Dolphins, was traded to the Denver Broncos on Tuesday, March 17.
Hill was one of the NFL’s top receivers in four seasons with the Dolphins, leading the league in receiving in 2023. His Dolphins’ career was most dynamic in his first two seasons as he totaled 238 catches for 3,509 yards and 20 touchdowns.
His performance slowed with Miami’s struggles the last two years and he suffered a season-ending leg injury against the New York Jets on Sept. 29, 2025.
Here’s a look at the latest on Tyreek Hill’s injury status and free agent situation:
Tyreek Hill injury update
Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told Miami sportscaster Josh Moser on Feb. 16 that the wide receiver had “a lot of work to do” in his rehab from a catastrophic leg injury that ended his 2025 season.
Despite the magnitude of his injury, Rosenhaus said Hill intends to play in the NFL next season, though he held the caveat that Hill could change his mind at any point.
Hill was noncommittal about his NFL future in the weeks after his season-ending injury and surgeries. He told The Palm Beach Post in October that he was happy “being with my kids” for the short term.
“I’m happy with the career that I’ve had and I love playing football. I love it. But it, man, but it takes a lot, man, to be the best and to stay at the top,” Hill said.
“And I’m at the point now where I need to have a conversation with Mom, family, everybody. Like I said, wherever my mind is at the time, the decision to be made, but I just know right now I feel like I haven’t had time to just live in the moment, and just be in the moment with my family.”
Is Tyreek Hill a free agent?
The former Miami Dolphins star remains a free agent as of March 17 as he recovers from a significant leg injury.
Another factor in Hill’s free agency is ongoing lawsuits related to numerous off-field incidents that occurred during his tenure with the Miami Dolphins.
