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.

We need to get really, really lucky in the draft to find a #1 WR.
So a 1st and a 2nd this year is somehow worse than a 3rd round comp pick next year? [Reply]

Tyreek forced their hand. This obviously wasn’t their preference. They made the most out of a difficult situation.
If it was just about the money then that is BS sorry. He is a franchise cornerstone player in his prime so you pay him. If it is because they think he is declining or something behind the scenes then that would be different. We will hear soon enough I suppose. [Reply]

No fucking shit. He WoUlDvE hElD oUt. Oh no, we would've gotten over half his cap back and had a rested Hill ready for the last stretch + playoffs. [Reply]

You’re right. Let’s pay Tyreek QB money at 28 and then bitch in 2 years about how he’s not worth the $35 million cap hit, our cap is in trouble and posters like you are bitching bc we don’t sign any major free agents and have 1 pick in the top 60.
Btw Hill will absolutely NOT restructure. We approached him about that last year and he told us to fuck off.

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.
Jesus Christ, why are people so obsessed with Brittney and Jackson? Tyreek doesn't care about that, he wanted money, plain and simple. [Reply]

I'm more than willing to bash Veach if this trade looks like shit down the road, but we won't know what we have until camp starts and we're playing some football. I fucking HATE losing a known quantity like Hill, but dude drug this out and then completely forced our hand. Shame on us for being in this spot, but this is the life of having a top 3 Franchise QB. The GM is constantly going to be juggling resources to keep the ship afloat....and competitive. [Reply]

You can’t spend 70+ MIL per year on just your QB and WR. It just doesn’t work that way. [Reply]
