Chiefs trade Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins

[Dante84]

Will update OP with more info.

Here it is: The #Chiefs are trading six-time Pro Bowl WR Tyreek Hill to the #Dolphins, sources tell me and @TomPelissero.

The return is a first-round pick and more, while Hill gets a contract extension that puts him among the highest paid WRs in the NFL.

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.

Reminds me of the Jared Allen trade bc I was way younger and more emotional about that kinda stuff back then.

But then I remembered how awesome our return was and how great our return will be when we get new young cheap players to help us get to a SB.

As much as I like Tyreek this was the right decision.

Veach didn't do this trade all on his own. I'm sure Andy and maybe "another person" had a say in it. Hill was fun to watch, but not $25-30M worth of fun. Some can point to a few plays and say that's how we won a SB, but I can point to others like Dirty Dan's INT, Kelce's clutch catch, or a timely sack.

Bottom line, Hill priced himself out of KC. Not Clark, not Veach, Hill. When it comes down to getting his gold coat, it'll be for what he did here, not in Miami. I wish him well, but he doesn't make my top 20 Greatest Chiefs Ever list.

X Howard has deleted all his IG Dolphins stuff. Maybe we’re trading for him?

He should. How many on that list got ring that you think are better than Hill?

Sometime I just miss the way he ran by everyone

Why? How man Chiefs have rings that have been better than Hill?

The difference in lifestyle between being the #1 paid WR and the #5 paid WR (what KC was offering) is jack and shit. Mahomes and Kelce both understand this.

Hill chose money and bragging rights over KC.

I hope he never sees a playoff game the rest of his career.



Dumb dumb dumb.

The NFL doesn’t care about him, why should he care about the NFL?

The only reason why Chiefs helped him out with his case was because he was a cash cow for the organization. He brought in the views and ticket sales. There’s not much loyalty in the sports like there once was.

The trade was dumb, dumb, dumb. The most dynamic player in the NFL was worth being paid #1 money.

His jackoff of an agent clearly got in his ear. It's pretty obvious the Chiefs thought Tyreek was going to accept a team friendly deal like Kelce did. Something (or someone) obviously changed his mind. Rosenhaus is a pile of human garbage and I'm sure had a lot to do with it.

Hope he enjoys partying and losing. Miami isn't winning a damn thing anytime soon. Some people are in it to win, Ty is clearly just in it for the lifestyle, which is fine. He can take that shit elsewhere.

We are justifying this trade by saying we couldn’t pay him. That’s not true. We could have kept him ONE more year (he had one year left on his contract) and then traded him next year.

I agree, but it’s really easy to say that when it’s not your money.

Most of us have faced the prospects of leaving our hometown, our family, and friends for more money, a better climate, a better career path. Almost all of us have, or have been very tempted to do it. Most of us have the wisdom and hindsight of age (far) beyond his 28, and we also had several X the "earning years" to change course if we were unhappy. Hill has a short amount of time to accumulate a much wealth as possible, and he took the money, like most of us would. It hurts, but it is hard to blame him, and I don't know if I would call him "dumb".

[Chiefnj2]

Hill essentially gets 25 mil a year with the Dolphins.

Meanwhile KC paid Clark 25.8 last year, Honey Badger 19.8 last year, and Hitchens 10.6 last year.

This year Jones is set to make 29.4 and Clark makes another 13.7.

People want to say he priced himself out, but KC has been overpaying players who don't have near the same impact.

I can tell you without question, I would take less $ to stay in a better place with better teammates. I've been offered jobs that would have paid more and turned them down.


Hill made it clear it was all about $ and we have all seen this play out many many many times in the NFL and other sports, it rarely works for the player in the long run when it comes to helping their legacy.
