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.

A player that forces teama to entirely change their whole defense is not holding the team back.

Imagine declaring we "won" this trade before any of the rookies we took with the picks even played a down..
I'll be honest: I think he's typically a total dipshit, but I'm pretty excited about optimistic RedDawg and I absolutely want to encourage his more recent attitude. So if the guy is overcorrecting a bit, let's just roll with it. [Reply]

This is impossible to say at this point. If we struggle on offense next year, go 8-9 and the picks we made with this trade are all out of the league in 5 years while Hill goes on to continue his HoF career for another 8 years in Miami, we will have gotten the shit end of this trade.
Best you can do is say it made sense for all parties, which appears to be somewhat true. [Reply]
He did make defenses play differently. However, he is on record, with his agent bitching that he didn't get the ball.
Can I see the pill please?
The dude had career highs in targets receptions, and also interceptions caused and it still wasn't enough?
Without this dude in Pat's ear, causing him to hold out for the Tyreek Hill highlight, instead of taking a wide open 10-15 to Kelce, or just move through the progression, we should see a drastically more decisive and efficient Patrick Mahomes.
I said it when it happened, and I still believe that the exit of Tyreek Hill was addition by subtraction. [Reply]
Seems like there's been more of these than those. As much as I don't like him, Tua had reportedly been looking great in TC including on deep balls. [Reply]

Yeah he has no excuse. He has one of the best supporting casts in the league and a young innovative coach. Their whole season depends on him now. [Reply]

I don't know if I'd phrase it quite like this, but I do agree we'll end up better off than we were with him. You can't call it addition by subtraction, though. He's just too damn explosive to make that claim.
I'd refer to it as evolution by necessity. [Reply]
