Is Patrick Mahomes Led Kansas City Chiefs Doomed After Losing Culture Setting Stars Like Tyreek Hill and Tyrann Mathieu?

The landscape of the Kansas City Chiefs is changing drastically this offseason. We will finally get to see what Patrick Mahomes is capable of without his favorite target, Tyreek Hill. The chiefs have traded Hill to the Miami Dolphins for a pretty interesting deal. 

The Dolphins have given away five picks for the Chiefs star wide receiver. A first-round number 29, a second-round number 50, and a fourth-round pick now belong to Kansas. On top of that, Miami has also given away fourth and sixth-round picks in the 2023 draft. That’s a lot of picks, but they could be worth it when you get the fastest man in the league in return. 

Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are shaken up this offseason

The Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes needs to find a new favorite target next season. The roster is going to look a lot different when the 2022 NFL campaign kicks off. They have lost some incredibly talented players like Tyreek Hill and the honey badger Tyrann Mathieu.

The Chiefs also parted ways with linebacker Anthony Hitchens in February. They also lost another wide receiver to the division rivals. The free-agent Demarcus Robinson has signed with the Las Vegas Raiders. Maybe Patrick Mahomes will find an instant connection with newly acquired JuJu Smith-Schuster. The former Pittsburgh Steelers receiver is expected to do great things at Kansas. 

The AFC West division has been stacking a lot of players this offseason. Some big names like Russell Wilson, Davante Adams, Khalil Mack, Chandler Jones along many others have joined the division. The AFC West game next season will be stacked and probably the most intense in the league. 

Did trading Tyreek Hill benefit the Chiefs?

Losing a Pro Bowler like Tyreek Hill is no joke. Hill is probably the fastest man in the league and one of the most reliable receivers. Patrick Mahomes knew he could always count on him. But trading him away to the Miami Dolphins could have benefited the Chiefs. 

Kansas got a total of five picks in return. They can use these picks to get a couple of wide receivers from this year’s receiver-heavy draft. The franchise has also saved an enormous salary cap which they can put to good use. The loss of Tyreek Hill might sting, but in the grand scheme of things, the Chiefs can still rebuild their squad. How do you think Kansas will perform in the AFC West next season?
