Overview

• Multiple NFL teams have been reported as monitoring Hill’s status, with ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler noting that franchises are wondering if he could become available even after Miami’s denial.
• Bleacher Report’s Brent Sobleski outlined a scenario sending Hill to the 49ers in exchange for Jauan Jennings and a 2026 sixth-round pick to address San Francisco’s receiver injuries and leverage cap space.
• Sporting News coverage and Sportsnaut’s Andrew Buller-Russ surfaced unconfirmed proposals trading Hill to the Chiefs for Hollywood Brown or to the Lions for Jameson Williams, highlighting roster fits and Super Bowl aspirations.
• Concerns over Hill’s late-season frustrations, strained locker-room trust and an offseason oblique issue have fueled trade speculation despite his public commitment and wrist surgery recovery.
• Hill’s sizeable $27 million-plus cap hit for 2025 and potential dead-cap implications remain a critical factor for Miami and suitors weighing any deal.
