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 make an exception for him.
Good thing he landed with the Browns…where he….*checks notes*.
Drafted Baker Mayfield #1 overall, didn’t win a championship and promptly got fired again. [Reply]

Seriously man, you don't have to be super talented to be well liked. [Reply]

The only way to salvage this is to trade for a DK Metcalf-type established WR because there is no way in hell that the Chiefs are coming close to replacing Tyreek in the draft.
With all of the holes on defense heading into the draft, now the Chiefs have created a MASSIVE hole on offense.
Tyreek is arguably the second most valuable/important player on the Chiefs roster, behind Mahomes. He's still just 28 years old... you find a way to keep guys like that.
I love Hill, but his refusal to restructure last year was the first sign that all might not be right in paradise. His game changing speed is tough to replace, but this isn’t Madden where you can just turn off the cap to keep everyone. It hard to sustain this level of success when your QB is the highest paid in the league, you have a LT that at some point will command Top 5 LT money, your LG is one of the highest paid in the league at his position, your DT is one of the highest paid at his position and then you make your #1 WR the highest paid in the league at his position which is the equivalent to a Top 10 QB. That model is just not sustainable and there was going to be a point when Mahomes had to live without Hill and Kelce. Better now when he is entering his prime than later on. Lastly did Hill ever convey any desire or intent to stay in KC long term? [Reply]

If he went to the dolphins 3 years ago is he signing this contract today?

The Chiefs were lucky to win 1, with their "show up 3 or 4 times in a season" defense. Sustained success involves an improved defense, not WRs making QB money.
And one of the greatest Olines in history. [Reply]
