Former Pro Bowl quarterback Robert Griffin III has weighed in on Tyreek Hill’s release from the New England Patriots.
The Dolphins decided on Monday to cut the wide receiver and save $22.8 million against the salary cap.
The 31-year-old will now have the opportunity to join another franchise when free agency starts next month.
RGIII is convinced that the New England Patriots should be among the teams vying for Hill’s signature.
RGIII urges the Patriots to sign Tyreek Hill
Griffin III tweeted about Hill potentially joining the Patriots shortly after the news broke about his departure from Miami.
RGIII believes that Hill’s unique speed would get the best out of Drake Maye’s deep passing, and vice versa.
“The New England Patriots need to sign Tyreek Hill,” he said. “Drake Maye was the best deep ball thrower in football this year.
“If Tyreek Hill gets back to 90% of what he was, the Patriots get a massive mismatch chess piece on their board.”

The Patriots’ offensive line remains problematic, as seen in their Super Bowl LX defeat; however, RGIII argued that Hill would alleviate some of those issues.
“Special speed like Tyreek’s is rare and makes it easier for the QB to throw the deep ball with anticipation, even without great protection,” he added.
“The Patriots need to fix the O-line. Tyreek makes it easier.”

When will Tyreek Hill return from ACL injury?
Tyreek Hill missed most of the 2025 season with the Dolphins after suffering a dislocated knee and torn ACL against the New York Jets.
The injury happened all the way back in Week 4 of the regular season, so Hill is already over four months into his recovery.
This should allow him to return to full fitness with his new team for the start of the 2026 season.
Whether that will be the Patriots, a return to the Kansas City Chiefs, or someone else remains to be seen.
