It has now been two years since the Kansas City Chiefs traded star wide receiver Tyreek Hill, and it looks like the Miami Dolphins will continue to be his home for some time, as he is under contract through the 2025 season.
While it is highly unlikely he will win another Super Bowl championship any time soon, he hasn’t hinted at any real unhappiness with his current situation in Miami, although he did recently have his contract restructured.
While on “Up & Adams,” Hill said he still loves Kansas City and his old teammates there, and he gave them credit for where he is now.
What’s the relationship like between Kansas City and their former star WR Tyreek Hill…???

After he was a fifth-round draft pick in 2016, he quickly emerged as a top-level wide receiver, as he led the NFL in punt return yards and punt return touchdowns and made both the Pro Bowl and All-Pro First Team as a rookie.
Three seasons later, he got his Super Bowl ring, and he contributed nine catches for 105 yards in the big game versus the San Francisco 49ers.
His 44-yard third-down reception with just over seven minutes left and Kansas City trailing 20-10 will likely be considered one of the more clutch plays in Super Bowl history.
Today, Hill is playing on a Dolphins team that is certainly good and playoff-caliber, but not capable of going very far in the playoffs.
Their big weakness is on defense, where they ranked 22nd in points allowed and 25th in passing touchdowns allowed last season, and thus becoming an elite team will continue to be a process for them.
