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.

It’s possible he wanted out at that point or knew it was going to be his last year in KC.

Or Cornell Powell, despite being the Chiefs only WR acquisition last offseason after losing Sammy Watkins was not expected to be anything more than a Practice Squad player because he was a 5th round pick?
Homers trying to have it both ways... interesting. :-)
You should log off and spend some time researching the difference between landing with a lottery selection and expecting to land a surefire starter. You clearly can't tell the difference or points that people are making and it's embarrassing.

Eh. Thinking too hard on this.
He wanted to be the highest paid WR and has a right to be paid like so. The Chiefs didn't want to do it. Nothing more or less to it. [Reply]

The Chiefs fans stood by him.
Hill bailed on both for money at the first chance.
Fuck him.
:-) he signed a team friendly deal a few years ago. [Reply]

What does that have to do with the Chiefs failing to upgrade their WR position last offseason and now having faith that they can get it right this offseason when the stakes are much higher without Tyreek?
And if you think that the struggles of the Chiefs non-Tyreek WR's didn't impact the second half collapse in the AFC Championship Game then you weren't watching the game.

His contract saddled the Chiefs with the highest cap hit of any WR in the league for 2022 and is a big reason why he was traded.
This idea that he did the Chiefs a huge favor with his last contract is a fucking myth. The only thing the Chiefs got with his last contract was the precise thing that happened today - him leaving because he wanted to break the bank. [Reply]

I think he always targeted this year to go after the money and be paid. He signed at a discount due to personal reasons. He is cashing in.
The bad thing is the Chiefs thought and they were in a position to sign him until he saw Davante's contract and then everything fell apart with the Chiefs. Guess that is a added bonus for the Raiders in over paying on Davante. [Reply]

He kind of had some off the field shit going on at that time. I’m not for bashing Hill but it’s not like the Chiefs have fucked him over at any point in his career so far. [Reply]
Kansas City Chiefs are in the middle of lot of excitement today, including hosting Tampa Bay Buccaneers veteran free agent running back Ronald Jones, according to a league source @PFN365
