Tyreek Hill didn’t want to be a Kansas City Chief anymore. At least not for what they were offering him on his next contract.
The three-time All-Pro and member of the NFL’s official All-2010s team — despite entering the league in 2016 — had been unable to come to terms with Kansas City on a contract extension. The Chiefs, understanding this impasse, allowed him to seek out a trade that would send Hill elsewhere while returning franchise-changing draft considerations in exchange.
Every team in the league would carve out a spot in its wide receiver room for a player of Hill’s caliber. His top suitors, however, were two teams that haven’t won a playoff game in the last 11 years.
