Chargers WR Keenan Allen offers curious reaction to Tyreek Hill trade

There has been a lot of speculation about what Allen meant. The most obvious explanation is that he was implying Kansas City’s offense will be a lot worse without Hill. He may have been hinting that Hill has made head coach Andy Reid and/or Patrick Mahomes look a lot better over the past several years.

Time will tell. The Chiefs recently signed JuJu Smith-Schuster, but he is not the same type of player that Hill is. While Smith-Schuster might be able to step into a No. 1 or No. 2 receiver role, he is nowhere near as explosive as Hill. Kansas City will have to change some of their offensive if they don’t find a way to replace Hill.

The Chiefs could address the wide receiver position via the draft or a trade, but a couple of ideas have seemingly been shut down already. Reid is known for being a great offensive mind, so a lot of people will expect him to find a way to put points on the board without Hill. Perhaps Allen feels that is going to be a more difficult task than many realize.
