The Kansas City Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins in March 2022 for five draft picks, and he earned a $120 million contract. Any doubt that Hill would bring his trademark high-octane speed and deep-threat, game-changing ability was instantly erased as soon as he wore Dolphin green.

The first two seasons in Miami were as good as anyone could have hoped. In 2022, he put up 1,710 yards and 7 touchdowns and earned First Team All-Pro honors. The next year was even better. He led the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns while averaging 14.5 yards per touch, and he was again named First Team All-Pro. Those two years produced MVP and Offensive Player of the Year votes and showed the full version of what the Dolphins had traded for.

The production dropped off after that. In 2024, he managed only 959 yards, his lowest total in years, as the offense struggled and a wrist injury limited him. The elite stretch that defined his early time in Miami was clearly over, and the numbers never returned to that level.

In 2025, the situation got worse. He played just four games before suffering a severe left knee dislocation and multi-ligament tear, including his ACL, against the Jets. He finished that short stretch with 21 catches for 265 yards and one touchdown. Off-field issues also continued to surface during his time in Miami, including a messy divorce that brought domestic violence allegations and an NFL review.

The Dolphins released him in February 2026 as part of a broader roster overhaul under the new regime. With Miami, he finished with 340 receptions, 4,733 yards, and 27 touchdowns over 54 games. The first two seasons were historic, but later years and an injury brought his time with the team to a quick end.
