That was fast, almost as fast as Tyreek Hill.
The Kansas City Chiefs gave the speedy wide receiver’s agent permission to seek a trade Wednesday and hours later Hill was on his way to Miami for a handful of draft picks.
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.

And just as quickly, the fleet wide receiver had his contract issues solved:

The New York Jets were reported to be in the mix for Hill but they failed to land him and now will see him twice a season with the Fish.
In six seasons with KC, Hill had 479 receptions for 6,630 yards and 56 touchdowns.
He now goes from Patrick Mahomes to Tua Tagovailoa, which means it is a good thing he already earned a Super Bowl ring in Kansas City.
The hell going on…
