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.

Williams would be amazing. Pickens seems like a guy that should be a top 5 draft pick but is gonna drop because of injury history. I'd be okay with either, but not sure either of them will fall to 29, so hopefully Veach gets aggressive with these picks because we really need another dynamic wideout ASAP. [Reply]

Really? Gonzalez always put up big numbers no matter who the receivers were. Kelce won't have a down year statistically if he can stay healthy. [Reply]

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.
Exactly. The team did a lot for Hill and he more than paid them back with elite play for peanuts and then a below value deal.
Veach put his limit, offered a reasonable deal and moved on once it was clear Hill was going for the stars. That's good business IMO.
Orlando Brown might be a similar story honestly except he is not the caliber of Hill but I'm thinking he will want mega dollars. [Reply]

Also Kelce is getting long in the tooth. Just epically dumb. [Reply]
