Sources: Dolphins release WR Tyreek Hill in flurry of moves - ESPN

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The Miami Dolphins released Tyreek Hill in a flurry of roster moves that will clear significant salary cap space, sources told ESPN on Monday.

Former Pro Bowl linebacker Bradley Chubb was also informed of his impending release Monday, per multiple sources, although it was not conveyed whether the transaction will take place immediately or will take place after the start of the league year on March 11 and be designated as a post-June 1 transaction.

Miami also released offensive lineman James Daniels and wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. The releases of Hill, Daniels and Westbrook-Ikhine are effective immediately.

These moves reflect the Dolphins' new direction under first-year general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and will save the team roughly $23 million in 2026. That number increases to $30 million if Chubb's release is immediate.

Miami traded a first-round pick, second-round pick, two fourth-round picks and a sixth-round pick to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2022 to bring Hill to South Florida and the Dolphins signed him to a four-year, $120 million extension. He instantly became the most productive receiver in the NFL, posting consecutive 1,700-yard seasons in 2022 and 2023. That production tapered off in 2024, when he recorded 81 catches for 959 yards and six touchdowns.

Hill dislocated a knee and tore an ACL in Week 4 of the 2025 season and missed the remainder of the year. He turns 32 in March and is now a free agent for the first time in his 10-year career.

His four seasons in Miami were also mired by off-field issues, including multiple lawsuits and an incident in 2024 when he was dragged out of his vehicle by Miami-Dade police officers outside Hard Rock Stadium just hours before the Dolphins'
