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.

Ehh I don't know. Personally, I think he likes putting feelers out like that so he can read all the pundits opinions on Twitter, and gauge the likelihood of a return. [Reply]
His contract does not look tradable and the Dolphins also can't afford to cut him, I would be pretty shocked if he's not a Dolphin for next season. [Reply]
I definitely think he regrets leaving us. But damn didn't realize he took himself out of the game yesterday.

Coach Mike McDaniel told reporters after the 32-20 loss to Jets that receiver Tyreek Hill declined to enter the game despite being able to play.
“I was informed that he was unavailable right before a drive,” McDaniel said. “I was not informed that it was a new injury, and I think at that point of time my focus was on the players and I didn’t take the time to go and try and figure out more into that. There were guys on the field that were competing, and we were trying to win a game, so my focus was there.”
Did Hill pull himself from the game?
“I was informed he wasn’t available, and I didn’t really have the time to dig more into that and we’ll see what comes of that after watching the tape and talking to coaches and the training staff,” McDaniel said.
How did he find out?
“It was discussed by the coaching staff on the headset and the play clock was running, so I moved on and called plays for people that were out there,” McDaniel said.
Hil was separately asked about the situation. He said he has been “dealing with a little issue” all season, and “coach kind of pulled me out,” , via Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald.
Hill seemed to backtrack when asked whether he was specifically removed by McDaniel because of the wrist.
“Just one of those issues, man, that like you know, you look up at the scoreboard, Chiefs are down [to the Broncos] and it’s like, OK,” Hill said.
So, in other words, it sounds like he removed himself. Coupled with the fact that he also said he’d like to move on from the Dolphins, he just might get his wish.
I think he’ll get traded. He’ll put up a huge stink like only Tyreek can. They’ve got void years so they might redo his contract before a trade to spread out the dead money or ask a team to give up a 6th or something and pay for part of the money this year (will still be cheap) in order to get him.

I don't understand how these guys continually do this.
In the early years of most people's careers they chase the money, nearer the end of their career they frequently adjust their career setting so they can focus on things that matter more than the daily grind of life at the office. While few talk shit like this illiterate premadonna, that's just the "spoiled brat" coming out of these idiots. [Reply]
