Chiefs Chiefs trade Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins - Page 27

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.

I also wonder if Hill threw some huge fit in the second half of the AFCCG too.

Green Bay is in a similar situation as the Chiefs looking to draft an impact WR to replace their traded #1 WR.

They have the 22nd and 28th picks in the first round to work with.

The Chiefs have the 29th and 30th picks in the first round.

Also the Jets have a WR need and have two picks in the top 10.

The Chiefs are going to have serious competition if the plan is to trade up in the first round to draft Tyreek's replacement.

And if the plan is to replace him with a 2nd/3rd round or later draft pick... then, well... yikes.

Similar to my thoughts only the Royals didn’t really have a Mahomes or close to existing talent.

Bull fucking shit. He would stay here if we paid him

Are you serious?

You can't name any hot, young talented WR's that've come out of the draft these last 5 years? When there's been guys literally every year.

Really?

That's a stupid question and not even worth my time.

Not a fan of this guy at all, but he's spot on here. Hell, they are all lottery tickets.

The Chiefs got five picks for Tyreek Hill, but three of them are Day 3 choices. Yeah, you can hit on those, but they're lottery tickets.

It's about hitting on the two top-50 selections, and if the Chiefs are going to make this trade even respectable, they have to crush both

Chances are Jameson isn't ready to play until about halfway through the season but the bigger issue is that it's almost guaranteed he can't participate fully in offseason stuff.

We can't afford to draft guys high that won't contribute IMMEDIATELY. Taking Jameson was a bad idea before they traded Tyreek. Now it's a luxury they simply cannot afford at any cost.

Is it possible that it wasn't only the fans who were tiring of Mahomes wife and brother or strictly the gigantic paycheck?
I say the paycheck mostly.

That being said if people settle down they should see that the Chiefs flat out robbed the Dolphins. IMHO of course.

Sure, but the cap savings has to be considered. It has to. Because it too well net more players, potentially game changing ones.
[Reply]

Wow. Just wow. Very disappointed to see him go. But he held out for more money and last year he was not as effective as years past. So we'll see how this turns out.
[Reply]

He was going to have to hit on 30 and 62 anyways. Now he has 29, 30, 50 and 62.

On Hill's level? Only one that I can think of is Chase. There isn't a WR like Hill in the NFL and that demands all the attention he gets.
