Tyreek Hill is still looking for a destination this fall after an injury-shortened season with the Miami Dolphins in 2025.

The Kansas City Chiefs could be an ideal place for him, as Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton points out, in a reunion between the two. Hill had a stellar first stint with the Chiefs from 2016 to 2021, during which he made first-team All-Pro three times and appeared in six Pro Bowls.

While Hill may not be on that level anymore at 32, the Chiefs could desperately use his services. He has 819 receptions for 11,363 yards and 83 touchdowns overall in his career.

“Remember, the big-play wideout isn't far removed from back-to-back 1,700-plus-yard campaigns between 2022 and 2023,” Moton wrote. “He played through the 2024 term with torn ligaments in his wrist and still finished with 81 receptions for 959 yards and six touchdowns.”

Moton highlighted the fact that the Chiefs will miss Rashee Rice for two months and that Xavier Worthy’s performance dropped off last season. That means the Chiefs’ other top wideout is Tyquan Thornton, who has 58 receptions for 823 yards and five touchdowns in four seasons. After Thornton, the Chiefs have Jalen Royals, Cyrus Allen and Nikko Remigio on second string. The Chiefs need a big addition such as Hill to really have enough firepower offensively.

Kansas City really needs support for quarterback Justin Fields, who could start Week 1, if Patrick Mahomes isn’t ready to go after an ACL tear. Hill was a threat last season with 21 receptions for 265 yards and a touchdown in four games.

While Mahomes can create as he has done for years, the Chiefs need a playmaker like Hill. In addition, Mahomes and Hill had chemistry from their time together on the field between 2018 and 2021.

That would give Mahomes two familiar main targets in Hill and tight end Travis Kelce, as the Chiefs look to get back on track.
