Chris Jones already recruiting Tyreek Hill for Chiefs reunion after Dolphins release

One of Tyreek Hill’s former teammates didn’t waste any time trying to recruit the eight-time Pro Bowler back to Kansas City.

Chris Jones, who overlapped with Hill for the first six years of their career and won a Super Bowl together, tagged Hill’s X account in a post and wrote, “It’s [time]” —using a clock emoji — just seven hours after news broke about the Dolphins planning to release the injured wide receiver.

Kansas City has already emerged as one of the logical destinations for Hill, according to ESPN, along with the Chargers — where former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is now the offensive coordinator.

It’s where Hill starred after being a fifth-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, finishing with more than 1,000 receiving yards in four seasons and becoming one of the trusted targets Patrick Mahomes used while constructing the foundation for the Chiefs’ dynasty.

But in March 2022, around two months after the Chiefs lost to the Bengals in the AFC Championship game, Kansas City stunningly traded Hill to the Dolphins, and that’s where he spent the last four seasons.

Hill opened his Miami stint with consecutive 1,000-yard campaigns, including one in 2023 where he finished with an NFL-best 1,799 receiving yards, but he hasn’t topped 965 yards in each of the last two seasons. Miami will save roughly $23 million in salary cap space by releasing Hill.
