The Dolphins announced Hill’s release on Feb. 16, a move that will save $35.2 million on the 2026 cap and create a $28.2 million dead‑cap hit. The decision comes as new GM Jon‑Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley reshape the roster.
Hill finished his Miami career with 340 catches for 4,733 yards and 27 touchdowns, leading the league in receiving in 2023. Despite his on‑field production, off‑field controversies and a 4‑game 2023 season kept the team on edge.
