Hill suffered a season-ending leg injury last season and underwent surgery in September to repair a dislocated left knee and multiple torn ligaments, including his ACL, according to what his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN’s Adam Schefter . His representation has noted that he will be ready to play next season, but he still has hurdles to clear before taking the field again. The Miami Dolphins released Hill, so he is free to sign anywhere.
However, at this point, it may be tough for him to find a long-term deal. That's where the Patriots come in. Assuming Hill will be able to play this year, the Patriots should be all over signing him to a shorter deal that allows him to prove he is still an elite player.
He was a phenomenal receiver for the Dolphins before quarterback play and his leg injury held him back the last two years. The Patriots have reportedly tried trading for A. J.
Brown, and clearly have interest in adding a receiver in some capacity. They have met with plenty of receivers in the draft process. However, Hill has the potential to be a better option than any rookie.
