Tyreek Hill’s contract details: What was the Dolphins WR’s salary and how many years did he have left?
The Miami Dolphins receiver has been released in a move for the team to make some space in the salary cap.
Tyreek Hill is no longer a Miami Dophin. The Pro Bowl receiver has been released along with Bradley Chupp and James Daniels to make some room in the salary cap area.
Hill wass signed through the 2026 season. Let’s take a closer look at that contract.
Tyreek Hill is rehabbing a major leg injury and it’s unclear when or if he’ll play in 2026. He would’ve had $11 million become fully guaranteed this month, so his release was expected. He’ll now be a free agent at age 31. https://t.co/CP3YHprjsm

Tyreek Hill’s $90 million contract
Hill came to the Dolphins via trade from the Kansas City Chiefs in 2022 and was given a four-year, $120 million deal. Then, in August 2024, Hill and Miami restructured the contract, so though it wasn’t an extension - it didn’t add any years - he did see a big pay increase. He had signed a three-year, $90 million deal running through the 2026 season.
Releasing Tyreek Hill, Bradley Chubb, James Daniels and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine clears $66.98 million and over $56 million in 2026 cap space. One or more could be held until March 11 for additional cap savings. Roster reset underway in Miami. https://t.co/O8Lan2FMSy

Of that, about $65 million is guaranteed. This includes a $15.85 million option bonus for 2025, which the Dolphins have already exercised. For the 2025 season, Hill had a $10 million base salary and around $1.8 million in roster/per-game bonuses.
Where things stand Now
Tyreek Hill, 32, is now a free agent, but teams will be concerned about his leg injury as the WR with 11,363 yards, 83 TDs and 919 receptions in his career will have to wait and see what happens next.

Performance concerns are part of the conversation: after his peak 2023 season (1,799 yards, 13 TDs), his 2024 stats dipped, and the Dolphins’ early 2025 results have been messy. That combo - declining production plus a big contract - tends to intensify speculation in the NFL.
