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.

Diggs helped elevate Josh Allen and the Bills offense to elite status, while the Vikings are stuck in mediocrity. Similar to Houston losing the DeAndre Hopkins trade... you don't trade elite WR's when they are still in the prime of their careers.
Also the last time a rookie WR in Philly or KC has immediately stepped in, started almost every game and became a Jefferson-like star in Andy Reid's offense? That would be never. [Reply]
I understand the move though, these are the types of moves you have to make when you're paying a true franchise QB. Hate to see Tyreek go, but it's likely for the best and I'm excited to see what possible moves we make in the remainder of FA and in the draft. [Reply]

That doesn't happen much, period - especially from where we're picking. [Reply]

One thought I had: Supposedly Andy's offensive scheme requires more than a year to learn and right now Hardman is the only holdover from last year. How is that going to affect our passing game? [Reply]

Super disappointed in this trade but if we wind up with three legit WRs and save cap that's not as bad as it sounds. Its better than having tyreek take up all the attention. I think Hardman can step up now that he's the primary speed guy. Juju is an obvious upgrade and if we bring in a legit WR like Lockett or Landry we are actually in a good spot. I wouldn't call that a rebuild. Mahomes still has plenty of weapons and plenty of opportunity to land a good wr to round us out. [Reply]
