Kansas City, MO – The Cheetah will no longer streak down the field in Chiefs' Red and Gold. In a surprise, perhaps even shocking, move Tyreek Hill has been traded to the Miami Dolphins.
The Chiefs traded Hill to the Dolphins in return for multiple draft picks, including at least one first-rounder.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that contract talks stalled between the star receiver and the Chiefs, leading to the trade.
In addition to the picks sent to Kansas City, the Dolphins are also giving Hill a 4-year $120 million extension, including $72.2 million guaranteed, as reported by 610Sports.
The deal for Hill reportedly came together quickly, following the news that an extension with the Chiefs was unattainable. Hill's camp was looking for a deal greater than that of new Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver DaVante Adams, making Hill the top paid wide receiver in the league. Adams signed a 5-year $140 million deal with Las Vegas following the blockbuster trade that saw Green bay trade Adams for a first and second-round draft pick in this year's draft.
