Is Tyreek Hill Returning to Kansas City?
Tyreek Hill is probably the most dynamic wide receiver of the present NFL, but recent posts on his Snapchat set the rumor mill ablaze when he started posting nostalgic highlights from his time with the Kansas City Chiefs. Cryptic postings by Hill have, for now, become a source of wonder among fans and are trying to understand why the wide receiver is signaling his return to his former team-a move that would address the Chiefs' current lack of a primary wide receiver.
The NFL aficionados and analysts are quarreling over each and every minute detail. The chatter over the proposed trade has grown louder after Hill's recent social media posts.
What does Miami have to lose?
Trade Hill? It is well unlikely but not impossible. The Dolphins currently have $6 million of cap space left, and trading the star wide receiver would bring substantial financial losses. If Hill is traded, he would be taking away with him an $11.9 million dead cap hit in this year while leaving behind a $19.3 million dead cap hit the following season. It's also saving the Dolphins $8.4 million in 2025 which would be an excellent incentive, given Hill is to receive a salary of about $27.7 million that season.
In short, while the Dolphins can make the trade happen, it would require crossing significant financial hurdles. It could very well come down to whether the team believes in building a more balanced squad or continues to heavily rely on Hill.
Chiefs Have The Cap Space to Make it Happen
From Kansas City's perspective, Tyreek Hill's return fits all possibilities in terms of money. Kansas City should easily have enough remaining cap space to pay Hill what he makes this season, $800,000. Adding $25 million that they project for 2025, that would be more than enough to fit in his fully guaranteed salary of $27.8 million for next year.
With the current requirement of the team to find a dependable wide receiver especially given the sidelining of Rashee Rice, the possibility of returning Hill to play along with quarterback Patrick Mahomes again becomes more and more plausible. Those few wide receivers who have this kind of on-field chemistry with Mahomes are a goldmine for the Chiefs' offense.
Will the Trade Really Happen?
While financial feasibility facilitates the trade, the ultimate question would be whether the two teams were willing to pull the trigger. Both teams are at absolute desperate need for the position, but in reverse sides-the Dolphins do not have a necessity for wide receiver, and the Chiefs badly need one, or two wide receivers: Tyreek Hill has been rumored along with Davante Adams as being on their trade wish list. The Dolphins will have some considerations based on future cap savings but will lose their premier offensive weapon in the short term.
Perhaps it is the recent posts by Hill, but it might be too early to tell if this will be a reality. For now, the Chiefs are scrambling for a wide receiver to complement Mahomes' play style, and the clock is ticking for his reunion with Hill.
