Free agent Tyreek Hill's X post draws 49ers signing speculation
Tyreek Hill, a free agent wide receiver, posted a message on X on Monday morning that said, "It's almost time to get off the couch and get to work 🥹," a post that drew more than 1.2 million views in about six hours, according to the reported account. Many of the comments on the post came from San Francisco 49ers fans who said they were convinced the message meant Hill was signing with their team, the report said.
Hill, 32, is a free agent after the Miami Dolphins released him earlier this year to clear salary cap space, according to the report. He previously played for the Kansas City Chiefs and the Dolphins and is a five-time First-team All-Pro honoree, the report said.
Hill is coming off a knee injury sustained last September that required surgery, the report said. The report states he is nearing a return but says it is not known whether he will play at the level he showed over the past decade.
San Francisco's wide receiver group has been hit by injuries this season, the report said, including a rib injury sustained by Mike Evans during a game on Sunday. The report described the 49ers' wide receiver injuries as making the team a potential fit for Hill.
