Why All the Stars Are Lining Up for Tyreek Hill to Rejoin the Chiefs

And Hill hasn’t seemed happy in Miami for a long while. He talked a big game about Tua Tagovailoa before moving there, even calling the QB better in some aspects than his former QB Patrick Mahomes, but we all know that was far from the truth. Tagovailoa, too, might get traded by the team post-June.

Hill was also a headline maker for a trade before the 2025 season, with fired GM Chris Grier later clarifying that the wideout didn’t formally request one.

However, he seemed unhappy with the state of affairs at the end of the 2024 season, hinting at a move. So, yes, the stars do align for Hill to get back to KC, the same team that arguably was never the same after he was traded. Yes, they won two more Super Bowls without Hill, but their receiving game was abysmal year after year, to say the least.

In their mediocre season last year, which led to them missing the playoffs, no receiver on the team even reached the 600-yard mark. The unit also finished near the bottom of the league in passing efficiency. Sure, Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice are top wideouts and could hold their own, but a veteran presence like Hill would be very beneficial.

Perhaps this is what the team needs to get back to its winning ways. Analysts like Stephen A. Smith have already given their blessing, saying Hill shouldn’t have left in the first place.

“You know what? He should be targeting going back to Kansas City … he should want to go back and play with Patrick Mahomes because he is desperately needed,” Smith said during a segment of First Take. “I don’t care that you got [Xavier] Worthy and [Rashee] Rice, they ain’t Tyreek Hill. They’re good, but I’m telling you right now, Tyreek Hill out there is something to behold when healthy.

Hill will command in the $10-20 million range. That’s not much for a five-time first-team All-Pro and six-time Pro Bowler. At 31, soon to be 32, he has much left in the tank as well.
