Tyreek Hill gave Miami Dolphins fans a lot of memories. The stadium hadn't cheered as loudly as it did prior to his arrival in Miami for years. His injury in Week 4 of the 2025 season was an untimely end to his tenure with Miami, as his long recovery and exorbitant salary forced new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan to release him.
Hill has remained a hot-button topic on social media. From his recovery posts to his name being brought up consistently as a potential addition for any team in the league, Hill has maintained his front-and-center attention.
Pat McAfee's own visible attention has skyrocketed over the last two years, and he has become one of the top draws for ESPN. He spoke with Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, who stated what we already know about the receiver.
"I don't expect Tyreek Hill to sign before the season..

He sent me videos of him running hills yesterday & he looked great..
I do think when he does sign he will be the kind of guy that will impact the playoff race & will certainly be successful" ~ @DrewJRosenhaus #PMSLive pic.twitter.com/FOUdOc9cYF
Drew Rosenhaus doesn't expect Tyreek Hill to sign before the season after Miami Dolphins release
It's easy to look at Hill, state one of the most obvious observations, and call it news. It was only last month that Hill reported not having any power in his surgically repaired leg. That isn't an inclination he is close to playing, let alone signing, despite Rosenhaus' acknowledgment of his client's workout videos.
"He sent me video yesterday of him running hills, and he looked great," Rosenhaus said.
The agent said that he told Hill he looked great, and that the receiver said, "I still have work to do. I'm not ready yet."
Hill will play this year if he is able. First, he has to clear the health hurdle, then find a team willing to take the risk of re-injury that will also come with a big paycheck. Hill can be dominating, and he can be the missing piece from a fringe playoff team or a borderline Super Bowl-quality offense.
The WR wants to win as much as he wants to get paid. Winning, however, seems to be more important. After the Dolphins missed making the playoffs in 2024, Hill went on a memorable tirade in the locker room afterward. It continued later on social media.
Hill has had his share of off-field issues, another problem an interested team will have to weigh, but if he can get on the field, he is a difference maker.
The WR has two routes he can go: chase early money on a team that may or may not make the playoffs, with the hopes of his presence changing that, or wait longer to see which NFL teams are going to make the postseason and decide which one of them will give him the best chance to win another Super Bowl.
Rosenhaus is right: Hill won't sign before the season starts because he can't, but also because he may not want to. If ever there was a player who could literally have the choice to choose a Super Bowl team, Hill may be that guy.
