- Tyreek Hill not expected to sign before Week 1
Tyreek Hill is not expected to sign with a team before the season begins, according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus.

What the analysts are saying
“Hill has been on the long road to recovery after sustaining a major knee injury in Week 4 last season, and it looks like he will remain a free agent when the 2026 season begins. However, the 32-year-old could receive interest from contenders as the season goes on if he continues to progress in his rehab.”
