Yeah, their version of what's possible feels different than ours.
While Kansas City Chiefs fans await the final call regarding wide receiver Rashee Rice's injury, the calls for outside help grow louder and louder. The situation is valid, considering Kansas City is chasing history and could possibly lose their top two wideouts with 13 games left in the regular season. There is a measured response, but as the volume raises, so does the level of ridculousness for who Kansas City should target.
That rose to a higher level, thanks to local sports radio personalities Bob Fescoe and Dusty Likins on Tuesday morning. The Kansas City radio staples, during an interview with former Chiefs wide receiver and current broadcaster Danan Hughes, tossed out Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill as a possible trade target.
Hughes audibly chuckled at Likins proposing the question, prompting Likins to clarify that he is "serious." Hughes pushed past the proposition and focused instead on the team's existing depth. Kansas City has already dipped into that depth this season, much to the chagrin of Skyy Moore believers out there.
Some people are playing Madden football in real life when it comes to proposing replacements for Rice.
After Hughes' interview concluded, Likins and Fescoe continued to push the notion of the Chiefs pursuing big-name trade targets. The duo circled back to Hill once again, with Fescoe ultimately laughingly asking "Why not Tyreek Hill?"
I am sure the Chiefs Kingdom will give you a litany of answers to that question.
Let's give those two credit for recognizing the surface-level connections. Hill is on a Miami Dolphins squad already looking to punt on the 2024 season, and the veteran has extensive experience in the Kansas City offense. With presumably plenty left in the tank, Hill would help any team athat acquired him. He is obviously not happy in Miami, especially after their Monday night loss to the Tennessee Titans.
Hill needs a quarterback. Patrick Mahomes needs a wide receiver. There are two dots on the same sheet of paper. Yet, those two dots do not need to be connected past March 2022.
Put aside the bad blood and dirty laundry that Hill has aired out since leaving Kansas City. Put aside his divisive off-field persona. Would Miami be willing to part with the player that is inarguably their best one, and would Kansas City have the trade and cap captital to make that move?
All three are likely a no.
