Chiefs Trade WR Tyreek Hill to Dolphins
AFC West Champs Receive Package of Five Draft Picks
The wide receivers continue to move with incredible speed this offseason.
On Wednesday, the current speediest of them all, Tyreek Hill, was traded by the Kansas City Chiefs to the Miami Dolphins after the AFC West champs were unable to work out a new contract with the Cheetah.
Chiefs are trading six-time Pro-Bowl WR Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins for five draft picks: a 2022 1st-round pick (No. 29), a 2nd-round pick (No. 50) and a 4th-round pick, as well as 4th- and 6th-round picks in the 2023 draft, sources tell ESPN.

And in a flash, Hill had that contract issue erased as the Dolphins gave the wideout a four-year, $120 million deal with more than $72 million guaranteed.

Oh, in case you were wondering, the No. 10 that Hill wore in Kansas City is available in Miami. And, certainly, now taken.

At BetUS, Miami went from +5000 to +3500 to win the Super Bowl, +3000 to +1800 to win the AFC and +550 to +400 to win the AFC East.
Hill joins big-name wide receivers such as Davante Adams (Green Bay Packers to Vegas Raiders) and Amari Cooper (Dallas Cowboys to Cleveland Browns) who have been traded this offseason.
The 28-year-old Hill is a six-time Pro Bowl selection. He had a career-high 111 receptions for 1,239 yards last season. It was the fourth 1,000-yard season for Hill, who has 56 receiving TDs in 91 regular-season games.
