Tyreek Hill’s Agent Reveals Major Update On NFL Comeback As Trade Talks Continue

The NFL trade deadline came and went, but Drew Rosenhaus is not done. Tyreek Hill has been a free agent since the Dolphins released him on Feb. 16, and his agent insists a comeback is near. Rosenhaus has a pitch for every team short on receivers: why trade for one when you can sign a Pro Bowler for nothing? There is one catch. Hill still needs medical clearance, and that clock is not in anyone's control.

Tyreek Hill free agency: what Rosenhaus told Pat McAfee

Rosenhaus appeared on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Tuesday and explained his deadline week. He represents plenty of high-profile players, and he says he has been fielding calls for those who want a new home.

"I'll be working the phones for our guys that wanna be traded. Right now, I'm still working the phones for Tyreek Hill."

Hill's situation is unusual. He suffered a dislocated left knee and multiple torn ligaments, including an ACL, against the Jets on Sept. 29, 2025. That injury ended his season. Once he passes a physical, any team can sign him outright. No picks, no players, no trade talks. That changes the math for front offices, and Rosenhaus knows it.

"And as soon as Tyreek is healthy and is cleared medically, I'm letting teams know, 'Hey, remember, you may not have to trade for a receiver. You could just go sign Tyreek whenever we get that medical clearance.' Which we hope will be soon.

"And at the end of the day, I think Tyreek is close, as we're looking at him right now. I think he's going to make a great comeback. I do think he's close to getting cleared. He hasn't been cleared yet, but when we get that okay, I expect him to be playing and making things happen this season."

Tyreek Hill return: Chiefs and 49ers moved on

The Chiefs were the team most often linked to Hill. In October, The Athletic's Michael Silver reported that Kansas City was "very interested" in a reunion and had already reached out to Rosenhaus. But the deadline told a different story. The Chiefs sent 2027 fourth- and fifth-round picks to the Colts for Josh Downs.

San Francisco, another team thin at receiver, also went elsewhere. The 49ers took Keenan Allen from Indianapolis earlier on Tuesday.

That does not close the door. Hill can sign at any point in the season, so a team that suffers an injury at receiver could change its mind quickly. Kansas City has not said publicly whether it will revisit the idea.

For now, the next step is medical, not contractual. Rosenhaus is selling patience, and he is betting that a healthy Hill will find a landing spot. Fans will be watching for one update above all others: the word that he is cleared.
