So, here we are, right on the edge of the NFL trade deadline, and everyone’s buzzing about Tyreek Hill possibly ditching Miami to head back to the Kansas City Chiefs. This isn’t just idle chatter either—Hill’s been dropping some pretty nostalgic posts about his days with the Chiefs, and you know how that goes. When a superstar starts looking back, fans start talking.
Tyreek Hill is a bona fide game-changer, making waves in Kansas City since 2016. The dude has a history with Patrick Mahomes that lit up the field, helping the Chiefs snag those Super Bowl titles. But then, out of left field, Hill gets traded to the Miami Dolphins in 2022, shocking fans and Mahomes alike.
Now, some folks think he might be ready to return since he’s had some ups and downs in Miami. Especially this season, where his stats have dipped noticeably. Just last week, he snagged only four catches for 80 yards in a loss against the Bills. Which, well, left the fantasy managers pretty frustrated. Even X exploded with opinions, and they’re pretty clear on where they stand.
So, what’s the scoop? Financially, the trade isn’t totally off the table. The Chiefs could absorb Hill‘s current salary, and the Dolphins might just save some serious cash if they trade him. But hold up—the Dolphins love having him around, and Hill loves Miami too.
He recently shared how great things are in Florida, praising his team and how happy his family is there. “I got a beautiful team here, and I want to be a part of it,” he said. So, while some people think trading Hill could solve the Chiefs’ needy wide receiver situation, it’s not that simple.
Fan reactions to the rumors about Hill
Now, let’s hit up what fans are saying about Hill’s potential return. Spoiler alert: most aren’t feeling it. One user flat-out said, “Why? We don’t want him back,” which kinda sums it up for many. Others like @gregorylea1 chimed in with “Not happening,” suggesting their disbelief over the rumors.

Fans are also worried about the financial hit this trade could mean. @reasonlocker cautioned that the Chiefs shouldn’t tie too much money into older players like Hill, suggesting it could mess with their chances of building a long-term winning team. “The dynasty could be damaged if they overdo it with a trade such as this.” That’s some real talk—nobody wants to mess up the momentum they’ve built.
Some users were a bit harsher, with @skinnier_d saying, “We ain’t taking that contract and we don’t want his washed a–.” Definitely not holding back there! And another added their two cents with, “Can we not please,” encapsulating the disdain many feel about Hill’s return. It’s clear that fans are torn.
Despite some intriguing factors that might make a trade possible, it seems Hill’s love for Miami is strong, and fans are largely against the idea of a reunion. With such strong views expressed across social media, many fans prefer to keep things how they are. And not roll the dice on a potentially disruptive trade. Only time will tell what happens. But for now? The rumors are just that—rumors!
