A day after the Raiders introduced their new All Pro receiver who they acquired in trade, the Chiefs have traded away their All Pro receiver.
Tyreek Hill — who has been a thorn in the side of the Chiefs’ AFC West rivals for the past six seasons — is now headed for Miami in a blockbuster trade.
Chiefs are trading six-time Pro-Bowl WR Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins for five draft picks: a 2022 1st-round pick (No. 29), a 2nd-round pick (No. 50) and a 4th-round pick, as well as 4th- and 6th-round picks in the 2023 draft, sources tell ESPN.

As Schefter notes, the deal sends five draft picks to Kansas City in exchange for the 28-year-old speedster. Only one of those picks is a first round pick, that being the Dolphins’ pick at 29 overall which they acquired from the 49ers.
They also give up their picks in the second round (50) and fourth round in this draft along with picks in the fourth and sixth round next year.
For what it’s worth, the Raiders got the 29-year-old Davante Adams for their first and second round picks in this draft.
Both receivers were traded rather than get the big payday they wanted from their previous club.
It’s ironic really considering literally just yesterday Davante Adams was saying the Raiders offense could be like the Chiefs ‘pick-your-poison‘ offense, and mentioned Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce by name.
Now the Chiefs will be hoping Mecole Hardman and JuJu Smith-Schuster can fill the void left by Hill’s departure.
