Who Should I Start? Robert Woods or Tyreek Hill

Tuesday, February 17, 1:08 PM

Wide receiver Robert Woods announced his retirement from professional football on Tuesday on his Instagram, according to Omar Ruiz of the NFL Network. Woods was with the Pittsburgh Steelers in training camp last summer but requested his release before the start of the regular season, and he never latched on with another team. The 33-year-old wraps up a successful 12-year NFL career, having caught 683 of his 1,093 targets for 8,233 yards and 38 touchdowns in 171 regular-season games played. Woods was originally a second-round pick in 2013 out of USC by the Buffalo Bills, and he played the first four years of his career with the Bills. He won a Super Bowl ring with the Los Angeles Rams in 2021. In Woods' final NFL campaign in 2024 with the Houston Texans, he caught 20 of 30 targets for 203 yards and no touchdowns.

Free-agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) said on his Instagram account that he wants to continue playing in 2026, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. "The Cheetah will be back," Hill wrote. The Dolphins released Hill on Monday and said that he "failed a physical" after suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 4 of last year that required surgery to fix a dislocated knee and multiple torn ligaments. The 31-year-old's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said that Hill is "progressing well" in his recovery and wants to play again. Although Hill seems motivated to continue his playing career, it's unclear if he'll be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 season this fall. Before he signs with a team on the open market, the soon-to-be 32-year-old is going to have to prove that he'll be ready to play at some point later this year. Hill was a Pro Bowler in each of his first eight NFL seasons, which included six 1,000-yard campaigns, but he's failed to reach that lofty mark the last two years and may not be the same explosive wideout upon his return from major knee surgery.
