Chiefs Reportedly Eyeing Tyreek Hill Reunion After WR Room Takes a Hit

The Kansas City Chiefs are reportedly looking into a reunion with Tyreek Hill, and the funniest part is that they were apparently making eyes at him even before their wide receiver room turned into a triage unit.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter and Nate Taylor, the Chiefs have "remained in contact" with the free-agent speedster. That contact suddenly looks a lot more urgent after Sunday's 30-27 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, which saw both Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton go down with injuries.

"A team source told Nate Taylor, 'we've remained in contact' with Hill."

Rice tweaking his right hamstring and being labeled doubtful to return is the exact kind of nightmare scenario that forces a front office to hit the panic button. But the fact that Kansas City was already kicking the tires on Hill tells you everything you need to know about how they view their current offensive ceiling.

Bringing back a guy who can outrun a sports car in a straight line is not just a depth move. It is the kind of market-shaking transaction that forces oddsmakers to immediately scrub and repost AFC futures. You do not casually sign Tyreek Hill to run block on third down.

Now, the clock is ticking. The Chiefs have to figure out exactly how much time Rice and Thornton are going to miss. If those MRI results come back looking grim, do not be surprised if that casual contact with Hill turns into a signed contract before the week is over.
