Tyreek Hill’s next NFL stop could come with a chill in the air.
The five-time first-team All-Pro wide receiver, who tore his ACL and dislocated his knee in Week 4 of last season during a 27-21 Miami Dolphins win over the New York Jets, has been working back ever since. Hill, 32, posted Monday that it’s "almost time to get off the couch and get to work."
Two days later, he widened the hint. Hill tweeted that he is "ready for some cold weather" after spending the previous four NFL seasons in Miami.
That message naturally put a few colder-weather franchises on the radar, especially since Hill still brings rare game-breaking speed to the table. His 28 touchdowns of 50 or more yards are the fourth-most in NFL history, and the 2010s All-Decade team receiver is now looking at possible landing spots. Here are five that fit the bill.
Green Bay is the cleanest match just based on timing. The Packers announced that starting slot receiver Jayden Reed will be out for the rest of the season because of a neck injury, and Hill’s post arrived right around that news. If he landed there, he wouldn’t need to instantly recreate his 2023 peak, when he led the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns.
The Packers still have pieces. Christian Watson ranks fifth in the NFL with 284 receiving yards and third with three receiving touchdowns.
Matthew Golden, a 2025 first-round pick, just had the best game of his career in Week 3 with 100 yards receiving and a touchdown on five catches. Tucker Kraft, who looked like a future All-Pro before his midseason ACL injury a year ago, is moving better each week in his return season.
Add Hill’s deep speed to Jordan Love’s arm, and Green Bay suddenly has a lot more firepower.
Kansas City is the obvious reunion angle. Hill would be heading back to Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, and both sides have a clear need. Hill needs a home, and the Chiefs need help at wide receiver.
Through the first three weeks of the 2026 season, Travis Kelce leads Kansas City in targets with 18, catches with 14, receiving yards with 231 and receiving touchdowns with two, tied with Kenneth Walker III. At 37, Kelce is still carrying a huge load. Hill could lighten that burden and give Mahomes another explosive target.
New England also makes sense if Hill wants to help a quarterback who badly needs a reset. Drake Maye has had a rough start, leading the NFL with seven turnovers, including a league-high six interceptions and one lost fumble. He also joined Rex Grossman (2007) as the only two players in the last 20 years to throw six or more interceptions in the first three games after a Super Bowl start, per CBS Sports Research.
The numbers back up how far the slide has been. After leading the NFL with a 0.28 EPA per dropback in 2025, Maye is down to 29th at minus-0.21.
That is the biggest September drop, from first to 29th, this century, per CBS Sports Research. Maye found a rhythm with Stefon Diggs last year, so the idea of pairing him with Hill is easy to picture.
Buffalo is another contender even though the Bills are 3-0. Their offense still needs more from the pass-catching group. Buffalo beat the Los Angeles Chargers 24-16 in Week 3, but the Bills turned it over five times, with Josh Allen accounting for three of them.
DJ Moore has helped, but the Bills could still use a third dependable target alongside him and Dalton Kincaid. Hill would also get the added bonus of facing the Dolphins twice.
Philadelphia rounds out the list after a rough Monday night. The Eagles were beaten 27-7 by the Case Keenum-led Chicago Bears, matching the fewest points they’ve scored in a game with Jalen Hurts under center.
DeVonta Smith has started well with 19 catches, 235 receiving yards and a touchdown, but no one else on the roster has reached double-digit catches through the first three weeks. Dallas Goedert, Hurts’ longtime safety valve, is out for multiple weeks with an MCL sprain. For a team that is almost always in the NFC race, Hill would fit right into the conversation.

Josh Allen's Knee Suddenly Looms Over Bills Patriots Week
Josh Allens knee has become the latest Bills storyline heading into a division matchup with the Patriots, but there does not appear to be much panic in Buffalo. Offensive coordinator Joe Brady said he is not concerned about the injury Allen picked up in Week 3, and the quarterback is trending toward being available when the Bills line up in Week 4.
Allen was seen limping after the game, which naturally set off some unease given how much Buffalos offense runs through him. The next few practice reports will be the real indicator here, and those updates should offer a better read on whether this is just a brief scare or something the Bills need to monitor more closely through the week.

Josh Allen Injury Worry Just Put Bills Fans On Edge
Bills fans had a brief scare after Josh Allens name came up in the aftermath of the latest game, but the conversation around the quarterback quickly shifted to reassurance from the team. Head coach Joe Brady addressed the concern directly, pushing back on the idea that there is a major issue and stressing the Bills focus as they try to stay steady through the week.
Allens availability always looms large in Buffalo, where everything on offense flows through him, and even a small hint of trouble tends to draw attention fast. The Bills are still in the middle of managing their current stretch, and with Brady emphasizing resilience, the bigger question now is whether this turns out to be nothing more than a momentary worry or the kind of storyline that lingers until the next update.

Patriots Injuries Could Change What Bills Face In Week 4
The Bills are getting a familiar kind of mid-September wrinkle from New England, where the Patriots are piecing together their Week 4 preparation with a crowded injury report. Several starters were absent from practice, including important bodies in the secondary and along the offensive line, and a few players showed up on the report for the first time this season. For Buffalo, it is the sort of development that can alter a game plan before the teams even take the field.
Offensive line shuffling has become a bigger concern with recent injuries to starting guards, forcing backup players into more prominent roles. The Bills will be watching those changes closely, because even a short-handed Patriots front can still affect how Buffalo attacks the matchup. For now, the biggest question is not just who New England will have available, but how much of the Week 4 game plan gets reshaped before kickoff. [Read more 🡒]
