The Miami Dolphins made huge news a few years ago when they traded for five picks, including a first-round pick in 2022 to the Kansas City Chiefs to acquire all-pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
During this past season, Hill tore his ACL and dislocated his knee ending his season short. However, that injury didn’t just end his season, but it ended his time in Miami as the Dolphins announced on Monday that they would be releasing Hill.
The move saves the Dolphins $22.8 million against the salary cap. The Dolphins are entering a new era with Jeff Hafley replacing Mike McDaniel as the head coach in Miami. There are also questions on what to do with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who has also had to deal with his fair share of injuries the past few years.
