Tyreek Hill may be on his way out of Kansas City, and there are at least two teams that are trying to pry the star wide receiver away from the Chiefs.
Hill has been given permission to seek a trade after contract extension talks between him and the Chiefs stalled. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets are already in “serious talks” with Kansas City about a potential blockbuster deal.

Schefter added that multiple teams have approached the Chiefs, but the Jets and Dolphins are considered the finalists. The NFL insider believes Hill is likely to be dealt.
Hill has been one of the most important pieces in Kansas City’s offense for several years now. Replacing him would be incredibly difficult, though the Chiefs did recently sign JuJu Smith-Schuster. They would likely look to draft a receiver, sign a veteran, or both if they end up parting ways with Hill.
In an offseason where several AFC West teams have made major moves, losing Hill would be a big concern for the Chiefs. The 28-year-old has eclipsed the 1,000-yard receiving mark in four of his last five seasons and made the Pro Bowl every year since 2016.
