Miami’s stunning start to the season has quickly transitioned to a period of confusion, and now one of their most prominent players might be caught in a fallout; moreover, trade talks are swirling around Tyreek Hill, with the Titans as the probable landing spot.
ESPN’s Seth Walder reported, ” This would be a pure cap space for the draft pick deal.” He emphasized that Titans could take Hill’s massive salary to help the Dolphins clear space.
“The Titans would take on the pro-rated remainder of Hill’s $10 million 2025 salary and acquire some draft capital. Then, Tennessee could cut Hill in the offseason before his 2026 roster bonus is due. It makes sense because the Titans have more cap space next year than they will know what to do with ($113 million, per OverTheCap.com), and Miami could use the cap relief.”
Tyreek Hill’s Injury Fallout: Dolphins Spiral as Titans Circle and Retirement Talk Grows
Once known for its power-packed defense under Mike MacDaniel’s shadow, the Chiefs have lost their charm since Tyreek Hill’s injury against the Jets in Week 4. Miami’s attack has sputtered, ranking only 21st in scoring. Meanwhile, Tua had 200 yards in three of his last four games.
Hills’ injury was dead serious as he dislocated his left knee and tore his ligaments, including his Achilles tendon.
After Hill underwent surgery this September, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, revealed that the motive is to make Tyreek ready for next season.
But recovery at 32 is not easy. That uncertainty has ignited even more crises. Moreover, Bill is due $31 million in 2026, part of the contract that once made him the highest-paid receiver. Miami is facing severe cap pressure next year. Jonathan Jones reported that several league executives now expect the Dolphins to release Hill before the 2026 season even begins.
That’s where Titans might step in. With $113 million in projected 2026 cap space, the Titans could acquire Hills for draft capital, then part ways before his bonus kicks in.
What comes as a shocker is that Hill himself shed light on his potential retirement. Amidst surgery, he added on his social media, thinking about what’s next. Meaning his severe injury could mark the end of his football career.
For Miami, everything seems off. A $120 million offense stalls, a sidelined player, and the team searching for glimmers of hope. Whether Tyreek’s next move is a trade or retirement, only time will reveal.
