Tyreek Hill, the five-time, first-team All-Pro wide receiver, is on the verge of an NFL return, and get this, he wants to play in the cold. After spending four seasons tearing it up in Miami, Hill tweeted Monday that it is “almost time to get off the couch and get to work.” Then he followed up Wednesday teasing a “cold weather” landing spot, making it clear he’s “ready for some cold weather.” What a bombshell, right?
The Cheetah’s Comeback: From Injury to Ice
Hill’s journey back has been a grind. He went down in Week 4 of last season with a torn ACL and a dislocated knee during a 27-21 Miami Dolphins win over the New York Jets. That’s a brutal injury, but the 32-year-old Super Bowl champion wideout has been working his way back to full health. Now, with his tweets, he is essentially putting out a “bat signal” to cold weather teams looking for a serious playmaker. We are talking about a guy whose 28 touchdowns of 50 or more yards rank fourth-most in NFL history. He is a legitimate game-wrecker, and any team getting him would instantly boost their offense.
Green Bay Looking Like a Landing Spot?
Based purely on the timing of Hill’s post, the Green Bay Packers instantly jump out as a clear choice. Hill’s tweet about cold weather dropped right around the time the Packers announced their starting slot wide receiver Jayden Reed (neck) will be out for the rest of the season. Talk about perfect timing! Imagine Hill joining that offense. He would not even need to rewind to his 2023 peak, when he led the NFL in receiving yards with 1,799 and touchdowns with 13. Green Bay already has talent: Christian Watson ranks fifth in the entire NFL in receiving yards with 284 and third in the league in receiving touchdowns with 3. Plus, Matthew Golden, a 2025 first-round pick, just crushed it in Week 3 with 100 yards receiving and a touchdown on five catches. Tight end Tucker Kraft, who looked like a future All-Pro before his midseason ACL injury a year ago, is also moving better by the week in his return season. Pairing Hill’s deep ball abilities with quarterback Jordan Love’s rocket launcher arm and that revamped offensive line? Lambeau Field could be seeing some serious fireworks.
Could a Kansas City Reunion Happen?
And then there’s the obvious one: a potential homecoming with the Kansas City Chiefs. We are talking about three-time Super Bowl MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes and future Hall of Fame coach Andy Reid. Both sides could seriously use each other. Hill needs an NFL home, and the Chiefs are absolutely hurting for playmaking at the wide receiver position. Through the first three weeks of the 2026 season, 37-year-old tight end Travis Kelce remains Kansas City’s leader in targets with 18, along with running back Kenneth Walker III. Kelce also leads in catches with 14, receiving yards with 231, and is tied for touchdowns with 2, again with Walker. The Chiefs need more, and Hill could be the answer.
So what’s next? Every cold weather team is probably scrambling right now to figure out how to land this guy. This is not just a free agent signing; this is a potential season-altering move for whoever manages to bring the Cheetah in. The NFL is officially on high alert for Hill’s next move.
