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.

And we weren’t trading with the Jets if Hill didn’t want to go there.
Like I said in the other thread - it’s the Davante Adams deal. That was going to be the model [Reply]

The package of picks they got back is awful. Don't like it at all.
But Hill's contract with the Dolphins is RIDICULOUS. And then you add the fact that the Chiefs nurtured him like you mention and well, yeah, I don't like his side of it either.

That’s how Brady won most of his SB’s. Great defense and OL. JAG’s at WR and RB.
We have the OL in place. Better than JAG’s at WR. 4 picks in the top 103 will go a long way to rebuilding the defense. [Reply]
More Tyreek Hill contract details: The $72.2 million becomes fully guaranteed at the start of the 2023 league year. The other $52.535 million is fully guaranteed at signing.

29 and 50 isn't a bad start, but for YEARS this board has justified bad decisions with these late 1st round picks as 'its virtually a 2nd anyway' and now we're supposed to pretend like it has the value that the Raiders pick had that they shipped to GB?
If 29 is the 'top' asset, there needs to be more ancillary pieces to justify it. And friggen 4th round picks ain't that.
You use 4th rounders to move up 6 spots in the 2nd. You don't use them to put a deal over the top for a HoF fucking pass catcher.
That needed to be, at WORST, a 2 next year and honestly I'd have given up a 3 or something this season to see that be one of their 1sts next year.
It's just bad return. You can't get less than the Packers got for Adams and somehow we did.
Veach blinked. Wouldn't be the first time.
To me…I’m just not that pissed about it. Veach has shown the ability to find some players in the 4th. I wouldn’t be surprised if he used a pick to move up a little in the first for a DE or DT and then grab a WR in the back of the first or in the 2nd.

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.
Go fist your mother.
What has convinced these sister fucking Patriot fans that we give a single shit what they have to say?
You lucked into Tom Brady - you still know precisely fuck all about the sport. So eat shit and die. [Reply]
I get the concern and wanting more compensation, but we did get practically a full draft for him. A 1, 2, 4, 4,and 6. I realize that some of those picks are next year, but that is a lot of draft picks. [Reply]
