signature moment as a Kansas City Chief took place late in Super Bowl LIV. Trailing the by 10 points in the fourth quarter, Hill pulled down ' 44-yard pa s on third-and-15. The catch spearheaded Kansas City's come-from-behind victory while giving Hill a permanent place in lore.Two years have pa sed since Hill and the Chiefs reached the mountaintop, and while they looked like an up-and-coming dynasty then, Kansas City has come up short of their championship aspirations each of the past two years. If Hill's Super Bowl catch was his greatest moment in Kansas City, one Jon Teske Jersey of his lowest points was when he was denied the end Christan Bullock Jersey zone on the final play of the first half in the Chiefs' overtime lo s to the in this past year's AFC Championship Game.While still one of the NFL's best teams, the Chiefs have decided to reload their roster with an influx of young talent, and Hill -- by virtue of his trade to Miami on Wednesday for a boatload of draft picks -- will contribute to that reload.By trading Hill, the Chiefs now have a dozen picks in next month's NFL Draft, including two first-round picks (29 and 30), two second-round picks (50 and 62), two third-round picks (103 and 125) Ignas Brazdeikis Jersey , and two fourth-rounders (125 and 135).

Given their financial commitment to Mahomes, Kansas City needs to be extremely smart as it relates to giving other players big contracts. As good as Hill is, the Chiefs ultimately decided to let another team pay him. With a slew of AFC teams making waves in free agency, the Chiefs' quest to win a second Lombardi during the Mahomes-Reid era is as tough as ever. Kansas City's counter to those moves wasn't Jaaron Simmons Jersey the addition of star power. Instead, they decided to trade one of their own starts while putting themselves in position to build a young, deep roster around their future Hall of Fame quarterback. The next several years will ultimately determine whether or not the Chiefs' approach was a failure or a succe s.
