Overview
- The eight-time Pro Bowler remains a free agent after the Miami Dolphins cut him in February, and teams have not made a firm offer.
- Hill dislocated his left knee and tore multiple ligaments in Week 4 of the 2025 season, an injury league agents describe as more complex than a typical ACL tear.
- On May 20, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Hill may not be ready to play until midseason, a timeline that makes clubs reluctant to use a roster spot or guarantee salary now.
- Kansas City has been linked to a reunion because of Rashee Rice’s knee surgery and legal issues, but sources say the Chiefs and other teams are taking a wait-and-see approach.
- Off-field allegations that could trigger NFL discipline add reputational risk on top of medical uncertainty, even as Hill’s past elite production keeps him on the radar for late-season signings.
