Hill (ankle) doesn't expect to be a Bengal for the 2018 season, Jim Owczarski of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. "Been one hell of a ride Cincinnati on to the next chapter," Hill posted on his personal Twitter page.
EDGE Analysis
Hill made his last appearance of the campaign Week 8, eventually opting for season-ending ankle surgery with his impending free agency in mind. The writing seemed to be on the wall when the Bengals selected Joe Mixon in the second round of the 2017 draft, and Hill's workload didn't exceed eight touches in any of his seven appearances. Once Hill hits the open market in March, the 25-year-old will be able to point to certain bullet points on his resume. As a rookie in 2014, he posted a career-best 1,124 rushing yards, reeling them off at 5.1 YPC. Furthermore, he combined for 30 touchdowns in his first three seasons before the abbreviated one in 2017.
Started to guess his landing spot, but no where will he be the first option. He'll have to win it in TC and early season to get that. Based off his me first type of quotes, he'll have a hard time getting the contract he wants. Faith level is at the minimum for next season, even with his health supposedly ideal going in.
I think he’s still a decent back it’s just that he got caught up in the dunpster fire which is Cincinnati. They have a delusional owner who drafts players that don’t address their needs and let basically his whole O-line walk because they wouldnt take his low-ball contracts.

He's no longer a cat... will he land on his feet?

Detroit, San Fran & Miami come to mind as landing spots with #1 possabilities?

Aye, and maybe Pittsburgh. I'd assume he'd have competition wherever he lands though.
