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 all expected to pay him like a top WR but now it's fuck him for doing so? If he was innocent of what he accused of like all you guys believe, why should he keep taking discounts just because the chiefs "stood by him"?

Well nobody is replacing Tyreek beyond filling the spot for a 80% of all offensive snaps as a receiver.
Replicating Gronk / Aaron Hernandez with Kelce and an analogue to Hernandez (hopefully without the criminality)
at TE isn't replacing Tyreek, but it certainly fills a void with pass catchers. [Reply]

He's not even going to be able to spend all that money so yeah he basically is screwing the Chiefs. Be honest with yourself buddy. [Reply]

It takes a year for a rookie to get Reid's offense.
If they ever do.
What rookie WR's are you talking about? Hardman? The LATE 2nd round pick that only had 2 years of experience at WR? That guy?
Or LATE 5th round pick Powell?
We talking about Tyreek Hill who was a goddamn RB coming out of college?
Who are these rookie WR's that Reid failed to develop? [Reply]

The whole Andy Reid and rookie WR thing is overblown.
Tyreek and Hardman were basically gadget guys in year 1 learning how to play the position on top of learning the scheme and they both had over 500 yards.
Whatever WR we draft will likely be a more polished WR. [Reply]

That was too much to ask?
The Chiefs were so desperate at WR last season they signed Josh Gordon, and yet Cornell Powell couldn't find his way off the Practice Squad?
He was a 5th round comp choice, so practically the 6th round at that point.
Nothing is a sure thing by then. Far from it. [Reply]
