In a move that was largely expected this offseason, the Miami Dolphins released Tyreek Hill on Monday. Now the eight-time Pro Bowl wide receiver is free to sign with any team of his choice, and unlike many other players who will be available after this offseason, he will not have to wait until free agency begins on March 11.
Hill can sign with a team right now. Since he is 31 years old and coming off a torn ACL, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him land with a contender or a team with a great passing attack. Below, we evaluate five of the best landing spots for the five-time All-Pro.

new England Patriots
The Patriots didn't win the Super Bowl, but maybe with a little more help they can achieve their goal next season. Fixing the offensive line will be a priority. If the Patriots can do that, they should consider adding another weapon to their offense. Hill could get additional motivation from playing for the Patriots, where he will have to face his former team twice per season in the AFC East, plus catching passes from Drake Mays could be a special experience.
Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens may intimidate Hill because not only are they a run-first team, but their receivers are also expected to contribute as run-blockers. He's not known for his blocking, but Hill would help bring even more pace to a Ravens offense that could use another playmaker to help take pressure off two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson.
kansas city chiefs
Eric Bieniemy is returning to the Chiefs this offseason, so maybe it's time to consider a reunion with Tyreek Hill as well. After all, he recorded 1,000-yard seasons in four of his six years in Kansas City, helping them win a Super Bowl in the process. While the Chiefs traded away Hill after 2021, it became too expensive to continue winning championships with him, but now that he is recovering from a torn ACL and knee dislocation, the 10-year pro would agree to a significantly lower rate.
buffalo bill
It's clear the Bills need to get some more help from Josh Allen. A zone-wide threat like Hill will certainly open up the field, preventing defenders from crowding the box against Buffalo. With Hill running deep routes and Allen and James Cook keeping defenders honest at the line of scrimmage, the Bills will be extremely difficult to defend.
los angeles chargers
Hill's former head coach, Mike McDaniel, signed on as the Chargers' offensive coordinator/playcaller. This makes the Chargers clearly the perfect fit for Hill to follow him to Los Angeles. Hill had two seasons with over 1,700 receiving yards in McDaniel's offenses, including leading the NFL in receiving yards in 2023. We don't understand why they wouldn't want to work together again. Unless the Chargers are looking for better run blockers than their receivers, Hill may have to find work elsewhere.
