Tyreek Hill is known for voicing his opinion. After the Miami Dolphins released him, one word was enough to put social networks in array. Now, itâs free agency time for the wideout and itâs likely many teams will come knocking.
âUnemployed.â One word thast describes perfectly the situation the wide receiver is in now. However, there are some teams that could be eyeing an offer for Hill. Hence, that âunemployedâ tag might not last for long.
Hill played only four games in 2025. He had 21 catches on 29 targets for 265 yards and only one touchdown. However, the fact is Hill has plenty of upside despite the injuries and age. The Dolphins are going for an overhaul this season and Hill wasnât part of the teamâs plans.
Thereâs no one like Tyreek Hill in the NFL
What makes Hill such a unique player in the NFL is not only his speed, but his versatility. For instance, Xavier Worthy is very fast, but he is not as deadly on the vertical routes as Hill is. Jameson Williams is also speedy and does present a vertical threat, but he isnât as versatile as Hill, who can line up pretty much anywhere on the formation.

Hill also possesses very safe hands. During his eight-year career, the six-time Pro Bowler and four-time All Pro is as safe as a target can be. When quarterbacks throw Hillâs way, they have a 109.6 rating.

Hill is the one name who saved a whole WR class
Drafted in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, Hill represents one of the last wideouts from the mid 2010s to still be prominent. For example, the top WRs picked in that draft were Corey Coleman (15th pick), Will Fuller (21), Josh Doctson (22), and Laquon Treadwell (23). Out of those, only Treadwell played in 2025 and he played a very minor role on the Colts.
Other prominent wideouts on that draft were Michael Thomas, who had an amazing yet very short-lived prime, and hasnât played since 2023. You can also find Tyler Boyd, who was a reliable second-to-third option, but nothing crazy to wow at. He is a free agent and hasnât played since 2024. The other one would be Sterling Shepard, who has been a solid option as WR2 or WR3 on different teams. Hill is the only actual standout of this draft class.
