The Kansas City Chiefs are running it back in more ways than one. First came the reunion with Eric Bieniemy, the longtime offensive coordinator who helped architect some of the most explosive offenses in recent memory. Now, the buzz is swirling around another familiar face: Tyreek Hill.
Bieniemy’s return to Kansas City after a three-year absence has already sparked ripple effects. It may have played a role in Travis Kelce’s decision to gear up for another season, and it’s not out of the question that it could influence Hill as well.
Shortly after the Bieniemy news broke, Hill took to social media with a cryptic five-word post: “EB to the Chiefs hm.” That’s all it took to light up the rumor mill.
Hill has never hidden his affection for Kansas City. Earlier this month, he posted, “Since we putting in requests I want to go home.”
He didn’t name the Chiefs directly, but it doesn’t take much to read between the lines. Kansas City is where he became a star, where he won a Super Bowl, and where he built undeniable chemistry with Patrick Mahomes.
Meanwhile, things in Miami are getting murky. The Dolphins are facing uncertainty at quarterback with Tua Tagovailoa’s future up in the air, and head coach Mike McDaniel is no longer in the building.
Hill, who previously requested a trade before walking it back, finished the season on the sideline with an injury. Now, with a new general manager in Kansas City and a potential roster shake-up on the horizon, the door might be cracked open for a reunion.
But Kansas City isn’t the only team that could make a move.
There’s growing speculation that Hill could follow McDaniel to Los Angeles, where the Chargers are entering a critical third year under Jim Harbaugh. According to league chatter, the Chargers might be willing to absorb Hill’s cap hit-just over $20 million-for a one-year rental.
That number isn’t insignificant, but it also wouldn’t tie them down long-term. Given the Chargers’ need to make a serious push and their available cap space, it’s the kind of calculated risk that could pay off big.
Hill thrived under McDaniel’s offensive system, and if the Chargers are looking to make a statement this offseason, adding a dynamic playmaker like Hill would certainly qualify. Sure, there are risks-he’s coming off an injury and isn’t getting any younger-but when healthy, he remains one of the most dangerous weapons in football.
For now, it’s all hypothetical. But whether it’s a return to Arrowhead or a new chapter in L.A., Tyreek Hill’s next move is shaping up to be one of the biggest storylines of the offseason.
