Chiefs are trading six-time Pro-Bowl WR Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins for five draft picks: a 2022 1st-round pick (No. 29), a 2nd-round pick (No. 50) and a 4th-round pick, as well as 4th- and 6th-round picks in the 2023 draft, sources tell ESPN.
Like most, I was hoping to get a little more next year, but before the trade is given an "F", let's see what happens with the $20mm cap space that opened up (prob won't know until next year), and what Veach does with the extra picks (comps from Poles). He's never been in this position, never had an economy of picks...if he's great, he can practically rule the next two drafts. 1 down year while everyone spends like a Hilton sister so you dominate the next 7? Deal me in. [Reply]

Everyone freaking out is forgetting that we drafted Hardman as Hill's replacement when all the bullshit was happening with baby momma. I'm disappointed in the return, but we couldn't match the payday Hill just got. [Reply]
You just aren't going to find another talent like Hill. That's why it sucks. It's not going to happen. But it's the name of the game... we've been going all out to win the last couple years and other teams will have more cap space and be able to go wild. And when you're successful some guys are going think they've got their ring and go get as much money as humanly possible.
The only way to kind of stop this is do what Polian did with the Colts, pay Manning, James, Harrison, etc. and then literally don't do anything major in FA and build everything through the draft. [Reply]
Congratulations for a move the Patriots under Belichick would have made 10 out of 10 times. Great medium to long term deal for the Chiefs if KC just does a decent job with the additional cap space and plethora of picks. It values Hill more than Adams and when you factor in Hill's punt returning ability, he should be valued a little more. Hill will probably age better than Adams since he takes less big hits and he is already one year younger but one injury to Hill could obviously change everything.
Dolphins made much more sense for Hill than the Jets. He will be the big star even over their QB which most people think of as someone more like an average QB. Lower taxes than NY. Warm weather perhaps more important as he ages. Arguably better night life than even NY. Great place to live if you are rich.
Long term this trade helps the Bills/Patriots/Jets since Dolphins lost so much cheap draft capital but it does make the Dolphins better in the short term. [Reply]

you can't convince me this is in any way shape or form a good trade for us. **** off with that apologist bullshit. the return is absolute garbage for what will be a hof talent in his prime.
Yeah trading Hill is not good. But you also need to factor in that Hill was not signing here for what we could pay him. We could not make the cap numbers work for a 25 million a year contract. The only way this works out is we use the 21 million we cleared for signing Hill productively and bring in one or two guys that improves our team and then hit with the picks. [Reply]
