Chiefs Predicted to Reunite with $90M All-Pro WR Tyreek Hill

The Kansas City Chiefs are reportedly eyeing a blockbuster trade to reunite with former star wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who is currently under contract with the Miami Dolphins. Hill's $90 million deal would require significant financial maneuvering to fit under the Chiefs' salary cap, but his elite deep-threat ability could help restore balance to the Kansas City offense as Patrick Mahomes recovers from injury.
Why it matters
The Chiefs' offense struggled at times last season without a true game-breaking wide receiver to complement tight end Travis Kelce. Acquiring Hill, a former All-Pro who thrived in Kansas City's system, could provide a major boost as Mahomes looks to lead the team back to the Super Bowl.
The details
Hill is currently under a 3-year, $90 million contract extension with the Dolphins that runs through the 2026 season. The deal includes $54 million in fully guaranteed signing bonus, with an additional $11 million in 2026 salary that becomes fully guaranteed, bringing the total guaranteed package to roughly $65 million. To make a reunion possible, the Chiefs would need to restructure Hill's contract to lower his $51.9 million salary cap hit in 2026, likely by converting base salary into a signing bonus to spread the cap hit across future years.
- The Chiefs are shifting their focus to the 2026-27 NFL season after a disappointing 2025-26 campaign.
- Hill's contract with the Dolphins runs through the 2026 season.
The players
Tyreek Hill
A Super Bowl-winning All-Pro wide receiver who previously played for the Chiefs and is currently under contract with the Miami Dolphins.
Patrick Mahomes
The Chiefs' star quarterback who is recovering from an injury and is expected to return for the 2026 season.
Travis Kelce
The Chiefs' star tight end who has been the focal point of the team's passing offense in recent seasons.
What’s next
The Chiefs would need to negotiate a trade with the Dolphins and restructure Hill's contract to make the reunion financially viable.
The takeaway
The potential Tyreek Hill trade would be a high-risk, high-reward move for the Chiefs as they look to bolster their offense and return to Super Bowl contention with Patrick Mahomes leading the way.
