Free agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill could sign with a team within days, his agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Rosenhaus plans to begin negotiating with multiple teams starting Monday.
Hill, 32, has been unsigned since the Miami Dolphins released him in February, a move that helped clear significant salary cap space, according to ESPN. He has not played since suffering a dislocated left knee and tearing multiple ligaments, including his ACL, in Week 4 of the 2025 season.
What Was Reported
“I would anticipate Tyreek potentially signing with a team over the next few days,” Rosenhaus told Schefter, per ESPN. Rosenhaus said he intends to open talks with multiple suitors this week, according to NBC Sports.
The Kansas City Chiefs are one team in the mix, per ESPN, and have maintained contact with Hill’s camp. The Chiefs reached out to Hill’s agent Sunday, according to Mike Silver of The Athletic, as cited by CBS Sports. Silver reported the Chiefs are “very interested” in signing Hill, citing multiple high-ranking organizational sources, and would be comfortable doing so provided Hill checks out medically, according to Sporting News.
Why Tyreek Hill Makes Sense For Kansas City
If Kansas City lands Tyreek Hill, it would address an immediate need. Tyquan Thornton is out indefinitely after suffering a dislocated left ankle in Sunday’s win over the Las Vegas Raiders, sources told NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, according to ESPN. Rashee Rice also left that game with a hamstring injury of uncertain severity, per CBS Sports.
Rice and Thornton have been Kansas City’s top receiving options through four weeks, combining for 24 catches on 31 targets for 409 yards and three touchdowns, according to ESPN. Hill began his career with the Chiefs, playing six seasons alongside quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce and recording 62 total touchdowns in that span before being traded to Miami ahead of the 2022 season.
Travis Kelce said after Sunday’s win that he would “love” to have Hill back, while Mahomes called the idea “pretty cool,” according to Sporting News. If a deal comes together, Hill’s familiarity with coach Andy Reid’s offense could speed his transition back onto the field, though that remains speculation tied to the fit rather than a finalized plan.
What’s Next
No signing is official, and Hill’s recovery timeline remains the key variable. Hill said in July that he had “no power in my left leg at all” while working to regain strength, per Sporting News, though the Chiefs reportedly believe he is targeting a return in November based on recent social media videos of him running routes and catching passes, according to ESPN. Rosenhaus’ talks with teams are expected to play out over the coming days.
