Cincinnati Bengals running back Jeremy Hill doesn't expect to continue his playing career in the Queen City.

Hill, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent in March, appeared to offer a goodbye message to the city of Cincinnati over Twitter on Wednesday.

"Been one hell of a ride Cincinnati on to the next chapter," Hill wrote above a video of highlights from his time with the Bengals.

Hill's playing time significantly dipped after the Bengals selected fellow running back Joe Mixon in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft. The 25-year-old Hill's season came to an end after he elected to have ankle surgery in November.

"I'm not nervous at all," Hill told The Cincinnati Enquirer of his future. "I think the chips will fall where they may, and I'm good with that going forward. I'm going to put the work in and when you do that you can sleep good at night knowing you did everything you could, and that's what I'm going to do."

Hill's time with the Bengals began with promise, as he rushed for 1,124 yards and nine touchdowns during his rookie season after being selected in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft.

Hill followed that up with 11 touchdowns in 2015, but was limited to just 37 rushes for 116 yards while playing in seven games this past season. All told, Hill carried the ball 704 times for 2,873 yards and 29 touchdowns during his time in Cincinnati.
