Meniscus+ACL could be implicated as well. Just have to hope there’s no significant nerve damage, but this could certainly be career-threatening.”Besides the gravity of the Injury, the Dolphins may also have to consider finances when determining Hill’s future with the team. Upon being traded for in 2022, he signed a four-year extension. According to Spotrac, it has an out option for 2026, but it will incur a $28-million dead cap hit.If the organization decides to release or trade him, then the cap hit will be $51 million. That figure can be divided into $39 million in cap savings/$12 million in cap hit with a post-June 1 designation, and $36 million/$15 million cap hit without.
