Former Kansas City Chiefs star wide receiver Tyreek Hill made headlines once again this past weekend when he made some shocking comments regarding his future with the Miami Dolphins organization after their 32-20 defeat to the New York Jets in the regular season finale.

Hill even went as far as to say, “I’m Out” (of the Dolphins Organization) and posted what appeared to be a farewell message to his X account to Dolphins fans.

Following Hill’s comments, Chiefs fans were sent into a frenzy on social media, wondering about the possibility of a reunion between Tyreek Hill and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Hill made it clear after the conclusion of a disappointing Dolphins season that he wants to win and that the door is open for leaving. When you combine that with the fact that Hill was seen posting old memories of his time in Kansas City to his social feeds, it would appear that Hill has a hidden (or not so hidden) desire to be back on the Chiefs.

Of course, everyone will point out that it was ultimately Hill’s decision to go to Miami and essentially choose money over winning. For that reason, many Chiefs fans don’t have sympathy for Hill’s current situation as the option to remain in Kansas City was on the table.

While that may be true—that Hill may now be regretting that decision—it is a separate conversation from whether or not Chiefs fans should want him back. Furthermore, maybe Hill has matured from the moment that he decided to get paid by Miami after seeing both sides and has decided that winning is now the most important thing to him. That’s okay.

Looking at the situation objectively, Chiefs Kingdom should enthusiastically support a Tyreek Hill reunion with Kansas City if the organization decides to explore the possibility this offseason.

There are a few reasons why Chiefs fans should welcome back Tyreek Hill with open arms if both sides are willing to make it happen. First of all, Kansas City’s offense has taken a step back in the explosive play department since Hill’s departure three years ago. Yes, the Chiefs have managed to win two Super Bowls without him—and that’s great!—but it is also ignoring the fact that they won last year’s Super Bowl despite a bad wide receiver room. The offense has struggled to find the deep ball consistently, which doesn’t feel like something we should say with a Patrick Mahomes-led unit.

Hill would instantly bring back that consistent explosive play ability that Kansas City has been sorely lacking the past few seasons. You’d be lying if you said you’ve never watched a Miami Dolphins game, seen Tyreek Hill make a huge play, and thought, “Man, I miss that guy on the Chiefs”.

The connection between Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill was nearly unstoppable for years and it is a shame that we were robbed of it in the middle of Hill’s prime. Hill is one of the most dangerous non-quarterback offensive players in NFL history and a future Hall of Famer. Why would you not be interested in bringing that back?

While Hill is about to be on the other side of 30, which is an age that general manager Brett Veach typically shies away from with expensive players, we all know that the Cheetah still possesses the same speed and athleticism as he had before he left Kansas City. Hill was just 41 yards shy of another 1,000-yard receiving season despite an injury to the starting quarterback. It feels like Hill could be an exception to the rule, especially given his history with the franchise and his familiarity with Mahomes and Andy Reid’s offensive system.

Lastly, there is a need for a veteran wide receiver in Kansas City. While DeAndre Hopkins, Hollywood Brown, Xavier Worthy, and Rashee Rice form a very solid group, only two of those guys are under contract for Kansas City beyond this year. Rice is one of them and will be coming off a major injury and most likely a lengthy suspension. The other is Xavier Worthy who will only be in his second year. The truth is you’d take bringing back Tyreek Hill over DeAndre Hopkins and Hollywood Brown at this point in their respective careers, and Hill has proven to be the most durable of the three over time.

A bonus to bringing back Hill is that he would take a lot of the pressure off of Travis Kelce as a guy who draws a lot of bracketed coverage and attention from the defense. As Kelce enters the last year(s) of his career, you want to bring in someone who has a similar effect on defenses. Kelce would probably be just as happy as anyone if Kansas City got the old band back together because it means a much easier life for him.

While there would certainly be some financial hoops to jump through in order for Kansas City to realistically bring back Tyreek Hill. It would seem as if Hill would be willing to sacrifice some money in order to make it happen and that the door is open given his comments. Fans may have differing opinions on whether or not Kansas City should pursue, but when you consider the fit, a reunion with Tyreek Hill makes plenty of sense for the Chiefs.
