It Probably Won’t Be For the Dolphins"},"content":{"rendered":"

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill suffered a gruesome season-ending knee injury in Week 4’s win over the New York Jets<\/a>, and the eight-time Pro Bowler won’t play in 2025 but reportedly wants to return in 2026. The only problem is that if he returns to the field, it probably won’t be with the Dolphins.<\/p>\n

Tyreek Hill carries a massive $27.7 million cap hit next year, but none of his salary is guaranteed. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport<\/a>, $11 million of Hill’s contract becomes guaranteed if he’s still on Miami’s roster in March, and he’ll also get a $5 million signing bonus.<\/p>\n

With surgery today, it\u2019s possible that Tyreek Hill will undergo additional surgeries. There is no guarantee he\u2019ll be ready for 2026.<\/p>\n

None of his 2026 salary is guaranteed now, but $11M (of $29.9M) becomes fully guaranteed if he\u2019s on the roster in March, plus a $5M roster bonus. https:\/\/t.co\/E9WkfEjzPA<\/a><\/p>\n
