Chiefs Chiefs trade Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins - Page 93

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.

Yep I forgot they changed the rules. Yeah no way he would hold out though I think some players did a hold-in by showing up but not practicing while waiting on a new contract. Don't think that would fly here though.

Definitely would have called his bluff

Ever heard of Leveon Bell?

I’d be so pissed if I was a fan of the other 3 teams and that happened :-)

Nah .. Raiders got alot of new pieces and a new coach

Watson comes to mind doing that.

Yes, we should have kept him one more year.

While I feel it seems this situation was inevitable it sucks simply because I just fucking loved watching that dude play. And he was on our team doing crazy shit.

Fuck time to move on.

I hate losing Tyreek but given the circumstances how do you keep him? I'd have a hard time paying a 28 yr old speed receiver 30 mil/year when he's an injury/pulled hammy away from being average. Cap space now and future savings plus a handful of picks. This sounds like the Patriots of 10 years ago of selling at the peak and restocking. Chiefs have their "Brady" and have built an o-line. The last few years it's been Hill/Kelce. Maybe next year it'll be JuJu/Kelce/Hardman/CEH/Pringle/? and teams will have to cover more than 2 receivers.

He’s accrued enough time to be eligible for free agency. And I believe the rule to ‘honor’ a contract year is week 9.

This isn’t a situation where a player needs 5 years of service time to be eligible for FA - he already has that.

He just needs to get the last year of his contract burned off and I believe week 9 is good enough for that.

Tyreek Hill is one of my favorite NFL players to watch with Patrick Mahomes. Now that he's been traded to the Dolphins, I wonder if he will have the same impact with Tua Tagovailoa as his QB.

This is the kind of hard-hitting, thought-provoking sports journalism that's been missing since Ahmad Rashad retired.

As DJ laid out he could sit until week 9 easily. Even if he sat for say 6 weeks its bust.

Stop acting like he couldn't make it a problem. He made $36MM+ the last couple years he wasn't going to be broke.

You think everything that happened, just transpired today?
