The Miami Dolphins made headlines on Monday with the surprising release of wide receiver Tyreek Hill after four dynamic seasons with the team. This move opens the door for Hill to explore opportunities with any team, without the need to wait for the new league year to kick off on March 11.
One team that should definitely keep an eye on Hill is the Pittsburgh Steelers. With their current roster, including DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III, they could benefit from Hill’s explosive playmaking abilities. As Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio pointed out, Hill’s skill set is unmatched, and adding him to the mix could elevate the Steelers' offense.
Hill’s career has been nothing short of impressive. Over ten seasons, he’s become a household name, starting with the Kansas City Chiefs for six years before making his mark with the Dolphins. An eight-time Pro Bowler, Hill has consistently been one of the league's top performers, even if he hasn’t been named to the Pro Bowl since 2023.
In 2024, Hill played all 17 games, yet his 959 receiving yards were the lowest he’s posted since 2019, when he played in just 12 games. This past season was particularly challenging, as a significant knee injury limited him to only four games.
If the Steelers are serious about acquiring Hill, they’ll likely face stiff competition. A player of Hill’s caliber is sure to attract interest from multiple teams eager to bolster their receiving corps. The coming weeks will be crucial as teams vie for one of the NFL’s most electrifying talents.
