The idea of Tyreek Hill reuniting with the Kansas City Chiefs has gained traction over the last week. The Miami Dolphins recently released the five-time All-Pro receiver in a move aimed at freeing up salary-cap space, despite extending him on a four-year, $120 million contract in 2022.
Hill is rehabbing from a dislocated knee and torn ACL, and given his age and the severity of the injury, the Dolphins’ decision wasn’t entirely surprising. But a player with Hill’s resume does not stay on the market without attracting attention, and Kansas City quickly emerged as a possible destination.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid addressed the speculation during his Friday media session, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
“I don’t even know if Tyreek is healthy right now to do anything,” Reid said. “So I’m sure he’s working hard on that part of it and trying to get that part all straightened out. Listen, we talk about everything.”
“There’s nothing happening there, but we know that you know – that he’s out there and cranking away, trying to get himself back to where he can play, period.”
