The NFL offseason has already been wild and we’re only in March. There is no shortage of mind-blowing moves as so many star players have retired and un-retired, are playing for a new team, or are staying put right where they are. Now it appears another star player is heading elsewhere.
According to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the Kansas City Chiefs have given wide receiver Tyreek Hill permission to seek a trade even though the Chiefs offered Hill a contract that would make him one of the highest-paid receivers in the NFL.
Another blockbuster coming? Despite an offer from the #Chiefs that would make superstar Tyreek Hill one of the highest-paid receivers, extension talks have stalled and Kansas City has now given Hill’s agent permission to seek a trade, sources tell me and @TomPelissero.

Pelissero added that “multiple teams have already engaged in trade talks with the Chiefs” and that they are already looking at Marquez Valdes-Scantling to potentially replace Hill. Rapoport reported that the Miami Dolphins are “a team to keep an eye on” about trading for Hill. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the New York Jets are an option in addition to the Dolphins.
Multiple teams have already engaged in trade talks on Tyreek Hill and the expectation is the #Chiefs would get a massive haul for one of the NFL’s most dynamic weapons, who would get his monster extension elsewhere. A wild NFL offseason only getting wilder.

How would the #Chiefs begin to replace superstar Tyreek Hill? Sources say #Packers free-agent WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling is on his way to Kansas City today for a visit. No deal imminent, but a logical option to help fill the void. Speed for speed.

As Pelissero pointed out, if Hill were to be traded he would be the ninth Pro Bowl player traded this month.
Eight players with a combined 33 Pro Bowl selections have been traded in perhaps the wildest month in NFL offseason history:
Russell Wilson
Carson Wentz
Khalil Mack
Amari Cooper
Yannick Ngakoue
Davante Adams
Deshaun Watson
Matt RyanTyreek Hill would make it nine and 39 …
