The Kansas City Chiefs are actively seeking a new wide receiver, as recent updates on Rashee Rice have not been encouraging. “As of now, it appears there is only a small chance that the electric second-year player can possibly return this season,” reported Ian Rapoport of NFL Network on October 5.
Additionally, the team is without Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, a fast deep threat acquired in the offseason, who has yet to participate in a regular-season game due to a shoulder injury.
Despite the absence of their top two wide receivers and a sluggish start from star tight end Travis Kelce, Kansas City remains undefeated at 4-0 ahead of their Monday Night Football game against the New Orleans Saints.
Reports indicate that the Chiefs are exploring trade options for a new receiver, with strong speculation about a potential reunion with Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill. As of October 4, Sportsbetting.ag listed Kansas City as the frontrunner to acquire Hill at +350.
Hill spent the first six years of his career with the Chiefs, earning Pro Bowl selections each season and winning a Super Bowl with quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Although the Chiefs traded Hill to the Dolphins prior to the 2022 season for financial reasons, they still managed to secure two more Super Bowl titles without him.
Notably, Hill was voted the best player in the league by his peers ahead of this season, though he has struggled to demonstrate that status after a concussion in Week 2 sidelined quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, impacting Miami’s dynamic offense. Hill is currently under a three-year, $90 million contract, which keeps him with the Dolphins until 2026.
