Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs tied to $146 million Miami Dolphins wide receiver

The Miami Dolphins released Tyreek Hill just days before the new league year. This news made Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones write on X: “[Tyreek Hill] it’s [clock emoji].” Translation: it’s time you come home.In 2016, Clark Hunt’s Chiefs drafted two players: Jones and Hill. But in 2022, Jones stayed while Hill was traded to the Dolphins. In 2025, Hill suffered a brutal knee injury on the gridiron. At the end of the season and just days before the new league year? He was released by Miami. Hill underwent surgery. He is recovering. His recovery timeline places him just about Week 1 of the 2026 season. Who believes in him? His parent franchise’s player, Chris Jones. And a few other analysts who are still linking him to Kansas City.According to Polymarket’s predictions and odds for the 32-year-old wide receiver, four teams are ranked the highest to land him in 2026. 35 percent for Matthew Stafford’s Los Angeles Rams, who are actively looking for a reliable third option other than Davante Adams and Puka Nacua. Even though there could be a competition for Los Angeles WR3 place with New England Patriots wideout Stefon Diggs. Anyhow, the next team: 31 percent for Josh Allen’s Buffalo Bills, who recently acquired DJ Moore from the Chicago Bears, but they may be looking for a veteran wideout.Then, 28 percent for Brock Purdy’s San Francisco 49ers, who may not have their star receiver, Brandon Aiyuk, for 2026. And lastly, 22 percent for Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs as of this publication. There are four teams looking for veteran WRs, but only one is truly connected to Hill: the Chiefs. Heavy Sports’ Max Dible reports the 8-time Pro Bowler could reunite with Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes. He is not the WR1 Kansas City is missing, but he can play a meaningful role once he returns to the gridiron healthy by Week 1. He has recorded 11,363 receiving yards, 83 touchdowns on 819 receptions in 10 years.The Chiefs brought back tight end Travis Kelce on a one-year deal, who can be a sure-handed target for Mahomes in short and intermediate areas of the gridiron. Kelce signed a three-year, $54.7 million contract with Kansas City. This led Good Morning Football's Isaac Rochell to say, "If they re-sign Tyreek Hill, because I'm feeling this energy, like, I think everybody can kind of feel it. Can we just get Tyreek Hill? Let's just get the gang back together." Hill recorded his career-best in 2020 playing for Kansas City: 87 receptions on 135 targets for 1,276 receiving yards, 15 receiving touchdowns, along with 123 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns in just 15 games.If Hill regains his explosiveness after recovery, then he could bring the original trio back together, and all three can have a chance at the Super Bowl once again. The trio won the Lombardi Trophy in 2020 [Super Bowl LIV] by defeating the Niners. They could do it again. Something the Chiefs have been yearning for straight two years now. ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi reports former Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate is scheduled to attend a meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs. This could be bad news for Hill. But if the Chiefs could draft Tate and also sign Hill as a veteran presence, then maybe they'd be a sight for sore eyes on the gridiron [just speculation].Hill's farewell message to Miami shows he's working hard, which is exactly what Kansas City head coach Andy Reid wants to see. Would the coach bring back his star player?According to Spotrac’s calculated market value, the West Alabama alum is projected to sign a two-year, $30 million contract, which gives him an average annual income of $15.1 million. His total career earnings over 10 years are $146 million. According to Kalshi, Kansas City has a 30 percent chance of being Hill's next team, while Los Angeles has a 20 percent and Buffalo has a 6 percent [as of April 8]. Would the Chiefs reunite with their drafted player? Remains to be seen…
