In recent years, Tyreek Hill has established himself as one of the greatest wide receiver talents in NFL history. His blend of elite speed, precise route running, and uncommon dynamism has made him a game-changer for the Kansas City Chiefs, a role he carried over seamlessly into his first two seasons with the Miami Dolphins.
However, the 2024 season marked a downturn for Hill, due both to Tua Tagovailoa’s extended absence and a dip in production, particularly when it came to big plays. Take a look at Hill’s totals over his 10-year NFL career and what he is earning this season.
How Much Is Tyreek Hill Earning in 2025?
Hill entered the NFL as a supporting piece in the Chiefs’ offense, still led by Alex Smith in 2016, and was named First-Team All-Pro as a return specialist in his rookie year. His true breakout came in his second season, especially with the arrival of Patrick Mahomes in Andy Reid’s system.
As a key weapon in the Chiefs’ 2019 Super Bowl run, highlighted by one of the most iconic plays in Kansas City history with his third-and-15 conversion in the fourth quarter, Hill still found himself overshadowed by Mahomes and Travis Kelce in the years that followed, even while being regarded as an elite receiver across the league.

In 2022, he was traded to the Dolphins and immediately signed a four-year, $120 million deal, averaging $30 million per season. Hill finally had a contract that matched his elite status and a role as the focal point of an offense. The results were instant, with back-to-back 1,700-yard seasons.
This past offseason, Hill agreed to a restructured three-year, $90 million deal with Miami, adding void years and adjusting the base salary to give the team more cap flexibility. In 2025, he carries a $27,698,750 cap hit, the second-highest in the NFL this season.
Over his 10-year career, Hill has earned a total of $147,589,171, ranking sixth among wide receivers in NFL history, trailing only Julio Jones, Davante Adams, Mike Evans, Stefon Diggs, and Larry Fitzgerald.
Looking ahead to 2026, Hill is set to carry a $51,898,750 cap hit with the Dolphins, which would account for 16.9% of the team’s cap. That figure has fueled speculation that Miami could consider trading him this season before the deadline.
Now 31, Hill is no longer at his athletic peak, with the explosiveness that defined his game showing signs of decline. Still, he remains capable of jumpstarting an offense and producing at a high level in the right conditions, making him one of the top trade candidates to watch before the season’s end.
