Wide receiver Tyreek Hill remains without a team for 2026, and it may stay that way for some time.
Drew Rosenhaus, Hill’s agent, appeared on “The Pat McAfee Show” Friday and suggested that Hill is not yet ready to sign with a team as he continues to rehab his serious knee injury. However, Rosenhaus believes Hill will play this season, and envisions him having an impact on the playoff race late in the year.
“I don’t expect Tyreek to sign before the season. He sent me video yesterday of him running hills, and he looked great,” Rosenhaus said. “He said to me, ‘I still have some work to do. I’m not ready yet.’
“It’s not hyperbole for me to predict that he will play this season. When, I’m not sure. I do think when he does sign, he will be a coveted player. He’ll be the kind of guy that will impact the playoff race and will certainly be successful once he signs.”

Hill, 32, was limited to four games last season before his serious knee injury. As recently as July, he had some concerning things to say about his recovery, so it is not necessarily a big surprise that he is taking things slowly and not rushing to join a new team as quickly as possible.
Since his outstanding 2023 season, Hill has struggled with underperformance in addition to his injuries. In 2024, poor quarterback play held him to 81 catches for 959 yards. That may be part of why some teams sound very skeptical of Hill and his ability to contribute in the NFL going forward.
