I’ve recently discussed possibilities for players to either sign or get traded to certain teams. This analysis has been all over the place, so I thought I’d move everything to one page.

Dolphins cut WR Tyreek Hill (Feb. 16, 2026)
Tyreek Hill has been one of the most dynamic players in the NFL over the past decade, but now he’s a free agent in the wake of Miami cutting him. Hill tore his ACL early last year, so given this injury, and the fact that he’s 32, he may never be the same player again. Hill had already shown signs of slowing down, so there could be a steep decline. However, it would be foolish to count out Hill, who could bounce back and have another strong season or two.
Hill could always retire – I’m sure he’d love to spend time with his family and be there for his kids’ diaper changes, birthday parties, and Little League games – but Hill could opt to continue his career and sign on with a contender to win another Super Bowl.
Here are some teams that could sign Hill:
Kansas City Chiefs: This fit seems too obvious. Tyreek Hill had his best years with Patrick Mahomes, and Mahomes had his best years with Hill. Both are coming off torn ACLs, so perhaps they could train and recover together.
Buffalo Bills: If the Chiefs don’t make the move, Hill could sign on with a team that happens to be a rival of both Kansas City and Miami. Josh Allen desperately needs a dynamic receiver.
New England Patriots: Another rivalry of the Dolphins is a possibility. Drake Maye sorely needs better help at receiver if he wants to avoid targeting Demario Douglas often in the Super Bowl again.
Baltimore Ravens: All the Ravens have at receiver is Zay Flowers. They’ve needed a No. 2 across from Flowers for several seasons.
Seattle Seahawks: Rashid Shaheed is an impending free agent, while Cooper Kupp is a million years old. The Seahawks need to address receiver this offseason.
Atlanta Falcons: The Falcons don’t qualify as a primary Super Bowl contender, but Atlanta is close to Hill’s hometown, and the Falcons have nothing at receiver outside of Drake London.
Dallas Cowboys: There’s some chatter that George Pickens could be traded because he’ll command too much money. If Pickens is dealt, Hill could be a cheaper alternative. NFL Free Agent Signing Grades
