The Chiefs are expected to be busy searching for help at wide receiver, and not just at one spot.
According to Jason La Canfora, Kansas City is looking for “significant additions” to its receiver room and is in the market for more than one pass catcher. The need is clear with Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton dealing with injuries, and the Chiefs could use a true deep threat to work alongside the run game and Travis Kelce.
La Canfora said Kansas City is likely to be as aggressive as any team when it comes to adding an offensive playmaker. He also noted the Chiefs were among the teams that explored a potential trade for Marvin Harrison Jr.
“Andy is going to do something,” one personnel exec who worked with Reid said. “He knows (quarterback Patrick) Mahomes needs a deep threat.”
Tyreek Hill’s name is also in the mix, though La Canfora said the veteran receiver is not held in especially high regard in many front offices around the league. He pointed to concerns about Hill’s explosiveness no longer being as elite, along with locker room and off-field issues.
The sense around the league, according to La Canfora, is that Hill may not have much of a market at all. Kansas City might be the only team willing to take a shot.
“He’s a no-go for us,” said one NFL general manager whose team would also like to add a pass catcher. “Who’s going to sign him with the domestic stuff going on, and the (divorce) trial?
No way. Nobody is going to pursue that, except maybe Andy.”
Hill, 32, spent his first years with the Chiefs after being taken in the fifth round in 2016. In 2019, while entering the final year of his four-year, $2.58 million deal, he signed a three-year, $54 million extension with $35.2 million guaranteed.
Kansas City traded him to the Dolphins in the 2022 offseason, and Hill then landed a four-year, $120 million contract with Miami that included $72.2 million guaranteed.
Before the 2024 season, Hill agreed to a reworked three-year, $90 million deal with $65 million in guarantees after being due base salaries of $19.665 million and $21.835 million over his next two seasons. Miami released him in February 2026 while he was recovering from a significant leg injury.
Hill played four games for the Dolphins in 2025, finishing with 21 catches on 29 targets for 265 yards and one touchdown.

Dolphins Bye Week Just Raised Fresh Concerns Before Final 10-Game Stretch
The Dolphins used Tuesdays light bye-week practice to reset after Sundays loss to the Bengals, but the first workout of Week 6 came with a few reminders that the break is as much about managing bodies as it is about resting minds. Miami also continued to shuffle the bottom of the roster, making multiple moves between the 53-man group and the practice squad as it tries to keep enough depth in place for the long stretch ahead.
Jordyn Brooks was not out there after the foot injury he suffered in that Bengals game, and Malik Willis also was not seen throwing during the session, adding a little more uncertainty to a week that should have been quiet. The expectation is for the rest of the bye to stay low-key as the Dolphins try to get healthier before the final 10 games, but these are the kind of absences that tend to linger in the background until practice ramps back up.

Chargers Fans Now Have Real Reason To Watch Mike McDaniel
The Chargers 0-5 start has already put Jim Harbaugh under a microscope, even if ESPNs Ian Rapoport reports the head coach is not currently viewed as being in trouble. There is still some internal belief the staff can stabilize things, but the offense has become the clearest pressure point, especially with the unit sitting near the bottom of the league in the 2026 season.
For Dolphins fans, the familiar name in the mix is Mike McDaniel, whose path has been tracked closely around the league since his Miami run. If the losses keep piling up, Los Angeles could start looking at bigger changes on the offensive side, and that possibility has opened the door to another old NFL figure as a stopgap option. It is an unusual watch for Miami followers, but one more reminder that coaching rumors never stay confined to one sideline for long. [Read more 🡒]
