Here’s your one-stop for everything you need to know about the Tyreek Hill trade and resulting fallout for the KC Chiefs.
Earlier this week, the Kansas City Chiefs pulled off the previously unthinkable with the decision to trade away one of the team’s offensive pillars when they sent Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins. It was a move that officially ended the team’s historic offense—at least as we knew it—knowing that multiple future Hall of Fame inductees were on the field at the same time for every play.
From the moment the public learned of the potential rumors that Hill could be traded to actual trade packages coming together from multiple teams to the terms being agreed upon—the whole affair was a whirlwind, not only for the public but the actual teams involved.
Hill wasn’t just a popular player or a productive wideout. He was a franchise icon, a team record holder who had never missed a Pro Bowl in six pro seasons. He’s a man on a Hall of Fame trajectory who made elite athletes look slow every time he raced to the end zone. More than that, he’s arguably the most dangerous offensive weapon in all of football.
Since it has been quite a week with a lot of information to parse and feeling to sort, we thought we’d help you out by creating a one-stop-shop, so to speak, to link out to coverage of the Tyreek Hill trade and the resulting fallout for the Chiefs.
