Tyreek Hill Next Team Odds: Is a Chiefs Reunion Inevitable for the Cheetah?

The Miami Dolphins officially closed the book on the Tyreek Hill era on Monday, releasing the eight-time Pro-Bowl wideout less than a year after a torn ACL limited him to four games in 2025. With the 31-year-old now free to chart his next landing spot, sportsbooks have wasted little time posting odds—and the early market screams one familiar destination: Kansas City.
From 2016-21 Hill torched defenses for 6,630 yards and 56 touchdowns in Andy Reid’s offense, earning Pro-Bowl nods every season and becoming Patrick Mahomes’ most explosive target. The Chiefs, fresh off their first playoff-less campaign since before either star debuted, finished 2025 with an aging Travis Kelce leading the team in receiving and no consistent deep threat on the roster. A reunion would plug both holes overnight, reuniting Mahomes with a player who knows the scheme as well as any coach.
Yet Kansas City is hardly the only contender with motive and cap flexibility. Buffalo overhauled its staff after moving on from head coach Sean McDermott, and Josh Allen’s aerial attack sputtered behind Khalil Shakir’s team-best 72 receptions. Adding Hill opposite Shakir would instantly diversify an offense that leaned heavily on tight ends a season ago and keep the Bills’ championship window propped open.
New England, losers of a lopsided Super Bowl, could weigh a splashy move as well. Stefon Diggs carries a $26.5 million cap number and has been floated as a cut candidate; swapping him out for Hill would save cash, though the Patriots would have to reconcile the health and off-field questions attached to both veterans.
Baltimore’s new brass, committed to Lamar Jackson after parting ways with head coach John Harbaugh, may look to pair Zay Flowers with another marquee wideout. DeAndre Hopkins is a free agent, and Hill—if cleared medically—would represent a dynamic upgrade who stretches the field vertically.
An intriguing dark horse sits in Los Angeles, where the Chargers just hired Hill’s former Dolphins play-caller Mike McDaniel as offensive coordinator. McDaniel’s scheme unlocked career-best production from Hill in Miami, and teaming him with Justin Herbert could re-ignite both player and quarterback after disappointing 2025 campaigns.
Health will ultimately dictate the market. Hill’s December ACL tear and knee dislocation require a clean bill before any franchise commits premium dollars, but the supply of elite receivers rarely matches the demand in late February. If the medicals check out, expect the odds to keep tilting toward the Midwest—where a familiar end zone awaits the Cheetah’s return.
