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?
