The Miami Dolphins didn’t look competitive at all in their first game of the season.
They entered the campaign with a lot of outside noise and didn’t do much to silence the critics.
With that in mind, NFL insider Mike Florio believes other teams could be gearing up to make the most of Miami’s struggles.
He mentioned the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers as two teams that could be keeping tabs on wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
“So if the ship continues to sink, Hill becomes an asset that can be flipped into a draft pick. For now, there are two teams to watch. First, the Chiefs. For obvious reasons. Hill starred in Kansas City until his desire for more money (and perhaps to not be in the shadow of Patrick Mahomes and/or Travis Kelce) sparked a trade. … And the Chiefs could use him, before and after Rashee Rice returns from his six-game suspension. Second, the Steelers. There’s already chatter, in the aftermath of Sunday’s win over the Jets, that the all-in Steelers could go even more all-in by making a move for Hill,” Florio wrote.
Of course, Hill’s ties to the Chiefs are more than obvious.
He was a Super Bowl champion with them, and with Rice set to miss five more games on an NFL suspension and Xavier Worthy dealing with a shoulder injury, it only makes sense that they could be interested in a reunion.
As for the Steelers, that would be a bit of a shocker.
Then again, with the way they made big moves to bolster their roster this offseason, perhaps they will be willing to roll the dice on the out-of-favor speedster.
Hill was going through it on the sidelines during the Week 1 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, and it is worth remembering that he did say he wanted to be traded at the end of last season.
The Dolphins could be looking at a major overhaul sooner rather than later, with everyone from the head coach to the quarterback facing plenty of uncertainty about their futures with the organization.
