Wide receiver Tyreek Hill of the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Pittsburgh Steelers could add another big name wide receiver to their offense this offseason.
The Miami Dolphins informed eight-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Tyreek Hill that he will be released this offseason, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are among the favorites to land him.

According to the 33rd Team , the Steelers have the second-best odds (+500) to sign Hill, behind only his former team — the Kansas City Chiefs (-180).
Hill, who will turn 32 next month, suffered a serious, season-ending injury during the Dolphins' 27-21 win over the New York Jets in Week 4. He reportedly tore multiple ligaments in his dislocated knee, including his ACL, and had surgery to repair his injury.
That, of course, makes his market hard to predict. However, when healthy, Hill has been one of the best wide receivers in the league.
Over his 10-year NFL career, Hill has recorded 819 catches for 11,363 yards and 83 touchdowns.

Hill is coming off his first sub-1,000-yard season since 2019, though, registering just 21 catches for 265 yards and one touchdown before suffering his serious injury last season.

Only time will tell if that will prevent the Steelers from having interest in him, but they only have wide receivers DK Metcalf , Ben Skowronek and Roman Wilson under contract for 2026.
A fifth-round pick by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2016, Hill is a five-time first-team All-Pro, former NFL receiving yards and touchdowns leader (2023) and Super Bowl LIV champion.
