Tyreek Hill Sent a Strong Message to Chiefs Following Trade Rumors
The Kansas City Chiefs shocked the NFL world when they acquired All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins early Wednesday morning in a trade with the Tennessee Titans.
The Chiefs sent back a conditional fourth-round pick, and now have one of the best wide receivers of this generation to aid their run for a three-peat.
While the trade sent shockwaves through the NFL, it led to a very interesting social media post from a former Chiefs All-Pro wide receiver.
Tyreek Hill, who’s currently with the Miami Dolphins after spending six years with the Chiefs, posted a very interesting message on social media Wednesday morning: “hm.”
It’s obviously unclear what Hill is referring to, but the timing of the Chiefs’ acquisition is definitely interesting.
Hill spent six successful seasons with Kansas City, maxing six Pro Bowls and three All-Pro First Teams. Hill had 479 receptions for 6,630 yards and 56 touchdowns and won one Super Bowl alongside quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Hill was then shockingly traded to the Dolphins ahead of the 2022 season. While he’s continued his personal success, having the best two seasons of his career, he hasn’t enjoyed the same team success. Hill had 119 receptions for 1,710 yards and seven touchdowns in 2022, and 119 receptions for a career-high 1,799 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2023, but the Dolphins haven’t won a playoff game.
On the flip side, the Chiefs have won back-to-back Super Bowl titles, and are now looking to become the first team ever to win three straight Super Bowls. Hopkins will only help.
The Chiefs are the lone unbeaten team left in the NFL as they enter Week 8 with a record of 6-0. Conversely, the Dolphins have struggled mightily since quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion in Week 2, and are now 2-4 entering Week 8.
Tagovailoa is expected to return this week, which should help the Dolphins get their season back on track. However, they’ll need to fix things quickly if they want to compete in a loaded AFC.
The Dolphins play the Arizona Cardinals this week in what feels like a must-win game for Miami. After Arizona, the Dolphins have a massive divisional battle against the first-place Buffalo Bills. The Dolphins don’t want to enter that matchup at 2-5.
As for the Chiefs, they play the Las Vegas Raiders this weekend and will hope to have Hopkins on the field to make his team debut.
