Tyreek Hill, the star wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, is a free agent for the first time in his career. His former teammate, defensive tackle Chris Jones, has publicly expressed his desire for Hill to re-sign with the Chiefs, tweeting that 'it's time' for Hill to come back to Kansas City.
Why it matters
Hill was a key part of the Chiefs' offense before suffering a serious knee injury in 2025, and his potential return could help the team bounce back from a disappointing 2025 season. With offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy also returning, a Hill reunion could signal a 'turn-back-the-clock' moment for the Chiefs' offense.
The details
Before Hill's injury, there was widespread speculation that the Chiefs could trade for him during the 2025 season. Now, as a free agent, Hill will likely have multiple options, but Jones is making a public push for him to return to Kansas City.
- Hill suffered a serious knee injury in September 2025.
- Jones tweeted his plea for Hill to return to the Chiefs on Monday night.
