The Kansas City Chiefs’ high-octane offense will have to keep on running without one of its major pieces. Speedy Pro Bowl wideout Tyreek Hill is leaving Kansas City after the Chiefs traded him to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for picks.

According to the official announcement, the Dolphins parted ways with five draft picks to get Hill. The Chiefs received this year’s No. 29 first-round pick (via San Francisco 49ers), 2022 second-rounder, and fourth-rounder alongside fourth-round and sixth-round selections next year.

As part of the trade, Hill will also receive a new contract from the Dolphins. The player’s agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the deal is for four years and $120 million and includes $52.5 million in guarantees.

Tyreek Hill’s departure caught everyone off-guard except the Chiefs. As it turns out, Hill was asking for a contract extension that would make him the league’s highest-paid wide receiver, and the franchise was reluctant to make that happen. When it became clear Kansas City won’t accept his demands, the 28-year-old player requested a trade.

The Chiefs acted swiftly and worked the phones until they received satisfactory offers from the New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins. Hill received an opportunity to choose his next destination, and he picked the Dolphins.

Hill entered the league in 2016 as Kansas City’s fifth-round pick. He made the Pro Bowl in each of his first six seasons in the league while earning three First-team All-Pro selections and receiving the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team nod. His career stats include 479 receptions for 6,630 yards and six touchdowns.

Despite his off-the-field issues, Kansas City Chiefs are sticking with Pro Bowl wideout Tyreek Hill. The team announced on Friday that Hill signed a three-year extension, which will keep him with the organization through 2022.

According to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, Hill’s deal is worth $54 million and comes with $35.5 million in guaranteed money. The 25-year-old will also get $5.8 million signing bonus.

Hill, who had one year left on his rookie contract, earned his extension with a career season in 2018 in which he had 87 receptions for 1,479 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Chiefs confirmed the deal on their social media by posting a photo of Hill inking the contract.

“We’re pleased we were able to reach an agreement with Tyreek to keep him in a Chiefs uniform for the foreseeable future,” Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said in a statement. “He understands our expectations of him as a member of this team and community. Tyreek is an elite player in this league and has played a major role in our team’s success, and we’re pleased that he’ll continue to make an impact for us.”

Coming out of college, Tyreek Hill was projected to be undrafted in the 2016 NFL Draft, as he had several off-the-field issues that usually scared teams off. Kansas City Chiefs, however, decided to roll the dice on him and take him in the fifth round.

Hill repaid the faith Chiefs had in him in his rookie season when he had 1,836 all-purpose yards. He was named into PFWA All-Rookie Team while also earning Pro Bowl selection, and First-Team All-Pro honors as a return specialist. His sophomore season was also a success as he earned another Pro Bowl appearance and had 1,183 receiving yards and seven TDs.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue my playing career here in Kansas City,” – said Hill after signing the deal. “Kansas City is my home, and I appreciate the love and support from Clark Hunt, Coach Reid and Brett Veach along with my coaches and teammates. To Chiefs Kingdom, you’re the best fans in the world.”
