Tuesday was pretty quiet for this NFL off-season, so you can start off with another big trade on Wednesday.
The Kansas City Chiefs have handed star wide receiver Tyrek Hill to the Miami Dolphins, who envisioned all draft capital to land him.
Chiefs are trading six-time Pro-Bowl WR Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins for five draft picks: a 2022 1st-round pick (No. 29), a 2nd-round pick (No. 50) and a 4th-round pick, as well as 4th- and 6th-round picks in the 2023 draft, sources tell ESPN.

After the two sides could not settle on a new deal, Hill was allowed to request a trade by the chiefs. Instead of Kansas City making him one of the NFL's highest-paid wide receivers, the Dolphins did this instead.
Overall, this is a 4-year extension worth $120M per agent @DrewJRosenhaus with $72.2M guaranteed. As @TomPelissero said, the 3-year numbers are below. https://t.co/3Ntrj8Edm6

There's no point reshaping Hill's stats - he's one of the best receivers in the league and his downfield pace is unmatched. It's yet another move in Miami's busy season that saw them just come to free agency from the New Orleans Saints to deliver a left tackle to Terron Armstead. He also signed Raheem Mostart and Chase Edmonds for the running back position, added wide receiver Cedric Wilson Jr., and kept Mike Gesicki tight end. First-year head coach Mike McDaniel is certainly not short on arms, so there are clearly high hopes for both him, and especially quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
