Tyreek Hill is letting us all know how things ended between him and the Kansas City Chiefs — on his new podcast.
The Miami Dolphins wide receiver teased his own podcast on Wednesday, “It Needed To Be Said,” and in the teaser he is seen discussing with agent Drew Rosenhaus and co-host Julius Collins about why he is no longer a member of the Chiefs.

“We reached out to the Chiefs, and we said, ‘Hey, we want to keep it going,’” Rosenhaus said. “Tyreek wanted to be there. Tyreek wanted to be in Kansas City. ..We tried to do an extension with them.”
“Tried, man,” an exasperated Hill replied.
That’s when the discussion took a bit of a turn.
Hill’s co-host, Collins, confirms that the wide receiver wasn’t asking for a crazy amount of money, the team knew what he was capable of but then suggests that they did not utilize him.
“Do you think this was a situation to suppress his stats?” Collins asked. “To drop that value down when it came to a potential trade or signing?”
Hill sighs before the trailer cuts out, but Collins’ suggestion seems to be a bit of a leap.
Hill finished third in the NFL last year with 111 receptions and was seventh in targets with 160. He also finished seventh with 1,239 yards and tied for ninth with nine touchdowns.
The Dolphins also gave up an enormous haul of draft picks — five of them — including a 2022 first and second rounder and inked him to a four-year, $120 million deal.
So, it’s a bit of a reach to suggest the Chiefs’ suppressed his value, but then again, they got a podcast that they want you to tune into.
