"KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The flirtation between receiver Tyreek Hill and the Kansas City Chiefs did not take long. Hill, who began his NFL career with the Chiefs, became an unrestricted free agent for the first time in 10 years last Monday when the Miami Dolphins released him as part of a series of moves to create salary cap space. The decision from the Dolphins let them to save $22.8 million. By early that evening, Chiefs pass rusher Chris Jones, had used his X account to send Hill, his teammate with the Chiefs for six seasons, a message that anyone on the social media website could see. He tagged Hill's account and used the alarm clock emoji to indicate that it was indeed time for the receiver to rejoin the Chiefs."
"Jones wasn't the only person who expressed that a reunion for Hill and the Chiefs for the 2026 season would be beneficial to both parties. Several analysts suggested that Hill, who is recovering from surgery to repair his dislocated left knee and torn ACL that he sustained last season in Week 4, has the best chance to reestablish himself as a player in the league with the Chiefs. "Not only do they need him, he needs them," Louis Riddick, the analyst and former NFL safety, said Wednesday on ESPN's "First Take." In March, Hill, whose elite speed and playmaking established him as one of the league's best offensive threats, will turn 32. Within hours of being informed by the Dolphins of his release, Hill wrote a post on Instagram to guarantee that he will continue his career with the same level of production that made him a star. "The Cheetah don't slow down. Ever," Hill wrote. "So to everyone wondering what's next... just wait on it. The Cheetah will be back...Born Again." Two days later, Hill used his Snapchat account to show that he was back in Kansas City to visit family members and to continue his rehab. Of course, Hill's profile photo showed him in a Chiefs uniform."
