Tyreek Hill Next Team Betting Odds: Chiefs Favored, But Conference Rival May Be More Likely

When the Kansas City Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill, people thought they were nuts. Fast forward to the present, and no one is surprised that the Miami Dolphins have decided to part ways with him. With a new head coach, general manager, and potentially a new quarterback, it makes sense.

Now what? What’s next for the superstar wide receiver? If you think you know, check out Hill's next team betting odds posted at DraftKings, which you can also see along with our analysis if you keep reading.

Tyreek Hill Next Team Betting Odds (DraftKings)

The following are Tyreek Hill's next team betting odds available at DraftKings:

• Kansas City Chiefs +225
• Buffalo Bills +650
• Baltimore Ravens +650
• Las Vegas Raiders +800
• New England Patriots +1200
• Los Angeles Chargers +1200
• Denver Broncos +1200
• Washington Commanders +1400
• San Francisco 49ers +1400
• Philadelphia Eagles +1400

The first thought that comes to mind is who will have the salary-cap space to sign him. For a guy who received $30 million a year in his last extension, there is a good chance whoever signs him will need a significant amount of cap space.

He is a veteran with a proven track record. The knee injury and ACL tear will impact what he can command, but his track record says it all. Give him a solid quarterback that can sling the ball, and he’ll produce (see his first two seasons in Miami; 1700+ receiving yards). Guys like him don’t come cheap.

However, it’s worth noting that Hill is an unrestricted free agent. That means he can sign with whoever wants him and at whatever price is decided. If he wants to insist on getting paid a salary comparable to what he had in Miami, he can.

Players often go wherever the paycheck is biggest. On occasion, though, some players have taken less, opting to prioritize the team over the paycheck. Will Hill be one of those guys? Contract negotiations helped lead to his departure from Kansas City. But he is older and wiser now, so there is no telling what will motivate him this time around.

Tyreek Hill Next Team Odds: Kansas City Chiefs the Favorites?

It’s not surprising, of course, that the Chiefs are at the top of the list. After all, Hill broke into the league with them when he got drafted in 2016 and rose to prominence as one of Patrick Mahomes’ favorite targets. Since his departure, the Chiefs' passing game has certainly suffered.

With his breakaway speed in Andy Reid’s scheme, he became the deep threat no one wanted to face. He led the league in receptions of 20+ (27) and 40+ yards (8) in his 2018 breakout season. Injuries hampered his 2019 season, but he was in the top three for 20+ and 40+ yard receptions in 2020.

But he wasn’t as dynamic in 2021 (13 20+ yard receptions and three 40+ yard receptions), which could have had something to do with the Chiefs' willingness to deal him rather than sign him to a massive deal.

Kansas City went on to appear in the next three Super Bowls, winning two, so he must not have been crucial to their success. Mahomes actually had the most productive season of his career in his first season without Hill (5,280 yards passing, 41 touchdown passes). Were the Chiefs better off without Tyreek Hill?

It’s a crazy notion, but the stats and the results (three Super Bowl bids, two wins) make it seem like the answer is, ”Yes.” So, maybe they shouldn’t try to acquire him…

fine to However, there is a strong chance that Rashee Rice may get suspended after facing legal issues. They don’t really have a dynamic receiving threat on the roster anymore, and Hollywood Brown led all receivers in yards last season with 571. There has been no indication that the front office plans on pursuing him.

But if he gets cleared and remains unsigned once training camps get underway, they could make him a lowball offer to come back home. Maybe…

Ballislife's Betting Pick For Tyreek Hill’s Next Team

Now, it is worth noting that no one can sign him for the moment, and likely not for quite some time. He’ll have to pass a physical to sign with someone, and that won't happen while he is still in rehab. He dislocated his knee and tore his ACL, so he is going to be working on his rehab for some time.

If he can’t pass a physical before training camp, there will not be too many teams with enough cap space to pay his old $30 million/year salary (if that’s what he wants). So, it may come down to the best team and/or the best team that can offer the most money.

With that in mind, here are my top picks (other than the Chiefs):

• Buffalo Bills +650

At first, I thought the Bills needed him as a downfield receiving threat, something I didn’t think they’ve had since Stefon Diggs moved up. But actually, his downfield passing numbers have been comparable in the last two seasons to when Diggs was his WR1.

However, what Josh Allen hasn’t had since Diggs left is a go-to wide receiver, a WR1 type guy that he could count on to make plays when the game was on the line, and passing lanes were tight. His leading receiver last season (Khalil Shakir) had 719 yards; he had just over 800 in 2024.

So, it's not so much about getting a downfield threat for Allen; he just needs a wide receiver he can count on to make plays when the team needs them most.
