With the NFL<\/a> tag window opening, teams are beginning to make touch and surprising roster moves. Yesterday, the Miami Dolphins made multiple moves.<\/p>\n

Among those moves, they made a surprising one in proceeding with the release of All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill. The thought was that they may try to trade Hill before making this decision.<\/p>\n

Hill\u2019s health is likely a huge factor. That isn\u2019t stopping fans and media from projecting where <\/a>he will land next.<\/p>\n

One of Hill\u2019s former teammates, All-Pro defender Chris Jones, is already dialing him up and has a simple message: come back to us. That return destination is none other than Kansas City.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs were bounced from postseason contention late last season\u2013their first miss since 2012. It was a season filled with injuries, offensive dysfunction, and no true skill position standing out as a lead weapon.<\/p>\n

With Hill approaching the age of 32 and coming off a major knee injury, he may not be the strongest option he once was. That doesn\u2019t mean Andy Reid can\u2019t make it work.<\/p>\n

The rest, you can argue their receivers and running backs have been solid at best. They haven\u2019t had a true number one receiver since Hill\u2019s departure in the 2022 offseason.<\/p>\n

Time will tell where Hill goes. There\u2019s no doubt he likely still wants to play. It\u2019s just a matter of health and opportunity at this stage of his career.<\/p>\n
