All-Pro WR goes to Dolphins; AFC has never been more interesting, thanks to star QBs, rebuilds and ramp-ups.
Well before the Kansas City Chiefs put a big smile on Chargers’ faces Wednesday by trading All-Pro receiver Tyreek Hill out of the division -- where K.C. finished first in all six years with him -- the NFL’s American Football Conference was spinning the sports world on its index finger.It’s not just that seven AFC teams employ a star quarterback. Or that three others went to the recent playoffs with their current quarterback.
It’s a nervy investment in a speed-driven player who turned 28 this month and seldom returns kicks or punts anymore. Squeezed by their own success, the Chiefs have had to find bargains elsewhere as their young stars began to command much more money. Drafts are the best source of relatively cheap labor, and by trading Hill and obtaining other picks through free-agency departures, Kansas City boasts 12 chips in the 2022 draft. GM Brett Veach and coach Andy Reid would need a miracle to replicate the Hill bonanza.
What the Dolphins are trying to do is leverage the rookie contract of their quarterback, something the Chiefs and Seahawks did in reaching a pair of Super Bowls with Mahomes and Russell Wilson, respectively.
