Chiefs Chiefs trade Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins - Page 22

Will update OP with more info.

Here it is: The #Chiefs are trading six-time Pro Bowl WR Tyreek Hill to the #Dolphins, sources tell me and @TomPelissero.

The return is a first-round pick and more, while Hill gets a contract extension that puts him among the highest paid WRs in the NFL.

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.

Well there you have it folks

So at best you were probably getting one of the Jets picks at the top of the 2nd round. At least with 29…you’re getting that 5th year option.

For the "it will be no trouble to draft a WR to replace Tyreek" crowd... look at the Chiefs history of getting immediate/starting impacts from their rookie WR's under Andy Reid... it is terrible.

I think Veach saw a draft that was as deep as it’s been in a while and he wanted as many shots as it as he could get.

I hope you're right.

I want every single one of those picks used in the draft, unless Veach can pull some magic with a trade for a young playmaker - someone that can actually help you this season and beyond.

Otherwise, take your medicine this year and possibly next and be ready to roll when all these draftees are starting to emerge.

Good Gawd! Mofo's in here crying like it's the end of the Chiefs. :-)

Chiefs might have a bit of a down year but overall this can make the Chiefs a better team for a longer amount of time.

Veach bet on himself. If he nails these picks this will all be forgotten. If not then it will come to define Veach's tenure.

Yep.

This is one of those moments. There's no remaining neutral on a trade like this.

He either does well in the draft and all is (relatively) forgiven or he dies on this hill (no pun intended).

That's silly. The Chiefs were rewarded for being loyal.

Not only did they keep him on a cheap contract, they also got a SB out of him.

We can't miss here as we don't have a #1 WR on the team right now.

Short term sucks, long term could be great with Pat.

We were going to have to retool soon anyway. Deep WR draft, 4 picks in the first 64?

Cap space too, you can extend Brown now.

Makes a lot of sense. Reek was not the one guy taking us back to the top!

Interesting thought.

Here is the trade the Chiefs and Jets had in place for Tyreek Hill:

🏈Chiefs would have gotten picks No. 35, 38 and 69

🏈Jets would have gotten Hill and No. 103.

The only thing I might do is use a later pick to move up from 29 for a DE if one is there like Johnson or Karlaftis. Otherwise just stay put and add young, cost controlled talent to this team.

Im reminded of the Vikings trading Diggs for a first rounder and turning that into Justin freaking Jefferson on a rookie contract. Meanwhile Diggs is aging on an expensive contract. The Vikings undoubtedly got the best of that trade.

Perspective people! We got FIVE freaking picks. FIVE! Lets wait and see who Veach turns those picks into. I have confidence a couple of years down the road it will be clear we got the best of the trade.

Yes, the Vikings have clearly eclipsed the Bills in team fortunes!!

Seems like I can't go a day without hearing a Vikings fans making fun of the poor pitiful Bills.
