It’s been over a week since the Kansas City Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins and we now have the first comments from star QB Patrick Mahomes.
Speaking with Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer on Wednesday, Mahomes revealed that the situation didn’t exactly catch him by surprise. The Chiefs’ front office kept him apprised of everything going on, including the point when Hill was given permission to seek a trade. What most surprised Mahomes is that things got to that point.
“It more surprised me whenever it got to the point where we were really considering trading him,” Mahomes told Breer. “They kept me updated the entire time; I knew the extension talks were going on. And then I knew when he got the permission to seek to get traded. But I mean, still, I played my entire career with Tyreek, so definitely, there was a little bit of shock when he got traded.
