Overview
- Hill became an unrestricted free agent on Feb. 16 after Miami released him in a cost-cutting move.
- ESPN reported the Chiefs are expected to track Hill’s rehab progress, while Andy Reid said there is “nothing happening” and questioned whether Hill is healthy enough to do anything yet.
- The eight-time Pro Bowler is rehabbing a dislocated left knee with a torn ACL suffered in Week 4 of the 2025 season, and his availability for the start of 2026 remains uncertain.
- Kansas City is still reported to be roughly $11–14 million over the salary cap even after restructuring Patrick Mahomes’ deal, making any pursuit likely to involve a one-year, incentive-laden contract.
- Hill has posted that “The Cheetah will be back,” was seen in Kansas City during rehab, and received public encouragement from Chiefs players, while the team’s receiver group lacks proven depth.
