The Kansas City Chiefs lost their best wide receiver to a season-ending injury.
Ironically, Rashee Rice’s full-speed collision with Patrick Mahomes forced him to leave the scene right away, and he won’t be able to return at all.
That has left the Chiefs scrambling to find a replacement, as they had already lost Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown for the season.
Travis Kelce is struggling to find his footing, and while Xavier Worthy has been solid at the beginning of his career, he’s just a rookie.
That’s why, now that the Miami Dolphins are struggling mightily, NFL analyst Paul Hembo believes the Chiefs should look to bring a familiar face back and trade for Tyreek Hill.
Talking on ESPN Radio, he argued that it would be the ultimate win-win scenario for both parties involved.

He thinks that as much as the Chiefs have options, they have few difference-makers available, and Hill is still an elite receiver.
He clearly has chemistry with Patrick Mahomes and is familiar with Andy Reid’s offense.
Also, the Chiefs could afford him and have an additional third-round pick from the L’Jarius Sneed trade that they could trade.
He argued that multiple metrics point out that the Dolphins are currently the worst team in football.
There’s still no timetable for Tua Tagovailoa’s return — or even a certainty that he’ll return — and his new contract, plus Hill’s big deal, could be a salary-cap problem for the Dolphins.
Hill made a lot of money in Florida, but from a football perspective, he definitely misses Missouri.
