It’s been a while since NFL fans saw Tyreek Hill in action. The veteran wide receiver last suited up for the Miami Dolphins as part of a high-powered offense under Mike McDaniel. However, it all came crashing down on one unfortunate night.
Hill suffered a brutal leg injury nearly a calendar year ago, on September 29, 2025, against the New York Jets. Miami won that game, but lost a key part of its offense.
In February 2026, the Dolphins released him, making him a free agent. To this point, the star receiver has not signed with a new team. However, there has been an update on when he could land a new deal.
When Will Tyreek Hill Sign A New Contract?
On August 21, Hill’s agent Drew Rosenhaus appeared on “The Pat McAfee Show” and was asked when Hill could sign a new contract. Rosenhaus provided some clarity on the matter.
“I don’t expect Tyreek to sign before the season,” Rosenhaus said.
During this appearance, he also provided an update on Hill’s health. The veteran’s agent said that there is still a way to go before he’s ready to take the field again.
“He sent me video yesterday of him running hills. And he looked great. I said to him, ‘You look great.’ And he said to me, ‘I still have work to do. I’m not ready yet.'”

Hill was one of the most dynamic wide receivers in the NFL before the injury. He was an eight-time Pro Bowler and a Super Bowl champion with five First-team All-Pro selections.
The veteran pass catcher played his last full season in the NFL back in 2024. He played all 17 games, recording 959 receiving yards and six touchdowns. He finished 33rd in the league among wide receivers in 2024, according to PFN’s WR Impact Rankings.

It’s certainly understandable that Hill wants to take his time coming back to the gridiron. He’s 32 years old and isn’t getting any younger. This may be his last big shot at playing time.
That, combined with the difficulty of coming back from such a devastating injury, makes his caution understandable. Rosenhaus does not appear to have any desire to rush him back, either.
“I am not pressuring Tyreek, nor am I setting a timeline for him. I think what I’ve said to Tyreek is, ‘Take your time. It’s not if you come back, but how you come back. We want you to come back when you feel your best,'” Rosenhaus said.
