Dolphins cutting $90 million star should interest Steelers, Patriots and Bills

The offseason wide receiver market just got a bit more interesting thanks to the Miami Dolphins.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Dolphins are cutting wide receiver Tyreek Hill after four seasons with the team. There had been rumors this would be Miami's approach and that has now come to fruition.

Three teams that should take note are the Pittsburgh Steelers, Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots, all of whom need wide receiver help.

The Steelers have failed miserably at filling out their wide receivers room in recent years, especially when it comes to adding a No. 2 target.

Buffalo appears to have struck out on Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer was a huge free-agent bust in 2025, leaving the Bills with an uninspiring situation at receiver.

One of New England's top priorities this offseason is adding more weapons for Drake Maye, and preferably a veteran who can add some experience opposite Stefon Diggs in what is a young wide receivers room overall.

The problem with Hill is that Hill is turning 32 and he's coming off a season in which he suffered a dislocated kneecap and torn ligaments, including his ACL.

That leaves his status for the start of the 2026 campaign up in the air and, as NFL Network's Tom Pelissero notes, there's no guarantee he plays at all next season.

Another concern with Hill is the domestic violence allegations he has against him from his estranged wife, which the league is currently investigating.

Regardless, we would expect all three teams and many more to monitor Hill, who could provide a cost-effective upgrade at some point in 2026.
