Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill Recollects Intense Conversation With Andy Reid Before Chiefs Exit: “I Just Want to Be Taken Care of….”

Tyreek Hill is a formidable wide receiver. He was part of the winning team in 2020 that beat the 49ers for the Super Bowl. Hill was able to put up brilliant numbers throughout the 2020 season and went on to run 15 touchdowns in the regular season. He played like an absolute force of nature for the Chiefs. However, this is why Hill being traded away was mind-boggling. With an established brotherhood between Hill, Mahomes, and Kelce, the wide receiver’s departure was shocking.

However, recently the wide receiver revealed his reason for leaving the Chiefs. While it might have been a tough and emotional decision, Tyreek Hill ended up leaving the Chiefs. Hill, later on, mentioned a conversation he had with Andy Reid before leaving. While conversing with Shannon Sharpe, Hill spilt the details about his conversation with his Chiefs’ coach.

The wide receiver recalled a conversation he had had with Reid. He mentioned that he did not have any ridiculous demands as a member of the team. Hill just wanted certain things to be sorted out for him. He said, “I talked to Coach Andy Reid and I’m like coach like I don’t even need to be the highest-paid receiver. I just want to be taken care of and I want to stay you know with Kelsey I want to stay with Pat I want to stay with my brother.” From the way Hill spoke, all he wanted was for the management to amend his contract. He explicitly mentioned his desire to stay with the Chiefs and the players he won a Super Bowl with. Hill had also mentioned what kind of amendments he had wanted as well, but alas the Chiefs were not able to satisfy Tyreek Hill!

Hill’s contract asks

In terms of market value, Hill’s ask from the Chiefs’ management was very reasonable. While speaking to his coach, Hill had mentioned the terms he wanted to be included. On Sharpe’s show, Hill mentioned the exact figure that he had asked for too. He mentioned, “Let’s take care of your boy man just make me 25 M” and spoke about how he would like $25 million. However, a deal between the team and Hill was not reached.

As the wide receiver reminisced about his Chiefs’ days, it was clear that some part of him still misses playing with the Chiefs. However, due to differences in his expectations, he wasn’t able to. However, the question that will always remain a ‘what if’ is what if Tyreek Hill stayed with the Chiefs?
