“I love Tyreek Hill”- Andy Reid talks about the departure of the former Chiefs superstar

Published by

The head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, Andy Reid talked about the departure of their star wide receiver Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins.

Star wide receiver Tyreek Hill was traded from the Kansas City Chiefs to the Miami Dolphins recently which shocked the entire world as nobody saw that coming.

He was an integral part of the Chiefs’ offense and everybody thought that he would be finishing his career in Kansas City only. Things took a drastic turn very quickly as the contract offer which was offered by the Chiefs was not accepted by Tyreek Hill and he was allowed to seek a trade somewhere else and the Miami Dolphins pounced on it to improve their team.

The head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, Andy Reid spoke about the trade of Tyreek Hill and said, “I love Tyreek Hill, There’s no rift between Tyreek Hill and myself. I thought he deserved an opportunity if that’s where he wanted to go. He’s a family man that has a few kids and he’s got to be able to support them now and down the road, and this gives him an opportunity to do that. At the same time, it gives us great compensation.”

He added, “We came in aggressive with a contract offer, and after we got to a point, we just said, ‘Listen, in this day and age you have issues you have to deal with with the cap.’ So we felt like it was better to allow him to go ahead and be traded. You can go different routes with a player. You can play hardball or you can go about it the way I did, or we did.”

Andy Reid further talked about the situation and said, “You’ve got to be able to manage that the right way, If you’re paying all of your money to a quarterback and you can’t surround him with players, that can be a problem. So you have to find a way with a Tyreek Hill may be that you have to get rid of so you can replenish. That’s offense and defense. I’m not just talking about the offensive side.”

The job for the Chiefs now will be to again form a team that can help to utilize the talent of Patrick Mahomes to the utmost which will again make them a contender for the Super Bowl just like in recent past years.
