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.

AB already said he wants to play for the Browns. . [Reply]
We were getting the value for one year of Hill’s services. It’s obvious that Hill would have held out if we franchise tag him. He wasn’t staying. [Reply]
No Hill and Ju Ju only has a 1 year deal. Hardman couldn't step up when teams were focusing on Hill and Kelce and people think he's going to do better without defenses having all eyes on Hill?

Exactly. That is like an extra draft worth of picks. [Reply]
Quick run of the numbers here shows 1.25 WAR gain for the Chiefs in trade compensation for Tyreek Hill versus 0.94 WAR for the Packers in the Davante Adams deal pic.twitter.com/bk5Vm4xob9

So don't get aggressive and go trading for veteran WRs. Don't go packaging 1st round picks and giving up value to get someone 5% better than who you'd get at 29 and 30.
Just sit ****ing still.
Let the draft come to you, take the best player available at any spot anywhere. Recognize that next year may be nasty and it just doesn't goddamn matter.
This just isn't a good enough return to justify keeping your foot on the gas. And those 4th ****ing rounders are just insulting somehow. Like they goddamn matter in a trade of this magnitude.
Ugh - this is just damn disappointing. A late 1st, a mid-2nd and some scraps. Blech.
Hopefully Jameson Williams is incoming but George Pickens wouldnt be terrible either... [Reply]
hill is a game changer….you don’t trade gamechangers in their prime. Kelce is going to have a down year because teams won’t be doubling any of our other WRs now [Reply]

I'm really glad I don't have a 10 jersey. It'd be hard to look at right now.
I mean, the guy took an extremely team-friendly extension a few years ago when everyone knew he was one of the biggest weapons in the NFL. Honestly, he doesn't owe the organization anything. He's the most dynamic receiver in the league, and wants to be paid like it, so more power to him. I don't get this idea that fans have that players owe anything to them. This is their career, they don't have a lot of time in it, so they wanna maximize their dollars. Can't blame them for that. [Reply]

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 ****ing 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.
I’m not too pleased either but it was the smart move though. If we give Tyreek that deal then we are in serious cap trouble next year and have no picks to supplement it.
This draft is very strong at DE and WR so our first rd picks are not as weak as a normal year. Plus we have a lot of picks to move up. [Reply]

Hill didn't want to play for the Jets so there was literally no way to leverage it.
