Five potential landing spots for Tyreek Hill as cryptic social media posts spark speculation about his future

Tyreek Hill might soon be traded again. Well, at least based on some cryptic social media posts throughout the weekend. After three seasons with the Miami Dolphins, the star wide receiver seems ready to move on, even though a trade certainly seems hard to pull off.

Any team willing to acquire Hill would have to pay him $27.65 million in 2025, and the 2026 salary ($36 million) is non-guaranteed and will most likely be a casualty a year from now. It's essentially a rent.

For the Dolphins, it's a tough situation as well. His cap number in 2025 is $27.698 million, and a trade would increase the number in extra $28.248 million, or $12.68 million if the trade is executed after June 1st. But considering that the 2026 hit is projected to be $51.898 million, well, it might make sense to get rid of it before it's too late.

For any realistic landing spot, there needs to be a lot of cap space and an urgency to acquire a top offensive weapon—we're not putting the New England Patriots here because the Dolphins wouldn't make this move to a divisional rival, in addition to the fact that the Patriots just signed Stefon Diggs.

Las Vegas Raiders

With Pete Carroll, there's an obvious inclination for the Raiders to win now, especially after they traded for 34-year-old quarterback Geno Smith. The Raiders have $48.87 million in available cap space, so there's more than enough room to execute the deal—and maybe even extend Hill if the team sees fit for the mid-term.

Detroit Lions

The Lions have Amon-Ra St. Brown, but they have tried to add more pieces around Jared Goff. The offensive line is elite, so putting receiving options on the offense is the next step. The Lions have $42.94 million in cap space and an obvious urgency to win as soon as possible.

Dallas Cowboys

Jerry Jones generally doesn't like to spend as much money, but he does it when it's time to acquire a superstar player. Hill would bring to Dallas exactly what the owner loves: Attention, headlines, and the potential for big plays. Even if it's just for a year, Hill would be a great complement to what the offense has with CeeDee Lamb, and it's a much better solution than giving up a fourth-round pick for Jonathan Mingo.

Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers have been frequently tied to available wide receivers—Davante Adams, DK Metcalf, Cooper Kupp. Maybe the external public perceives it as a higher need than Jim Harbaugh and Joe Hortiz do, but putting a star weapon alongside Ladd McConkey would be an enticing alternative for Justin Herbert. With $30.87 million in cap space, there's room to absorb Hill's deal, even though it would be necessary to create more room to operate during the season.

Indianapolis Colts

Chris Ballard doesn't tend to make wild moves like this, but owner Jim Irsay might be running out of patience after years and years of mediocre results. The Colts only have $21.824 million in cap space, so it would be necessary to adjust Hill's deal. It's an uncharacteristic move for sure, but when GMs turn on the job-preservation mode, these kinds of things could happen. Moreover, when a team needs a proof of what it has at quarterback, it's important to isolate variables and give him a realistic chance of success with good weapons.
