The Los Angeles Chargers could be in play for virtually any offensive weapon on the market this offseason. With a new offensive coordinator in Mike McDaniel, the temptation must certainly be there to take a big swing.
The Miami Dolphins' release of Tyreek Hill presents an intriguing option.
But let's be realistic. Unless Hill comes in on a cheap contract, there's almost no chance Los Angeles is willing to take that risk.
That doesn't mean no team will be willing to, however. Even at this point in his career, Hill could still be a lethal receiving threat.
Therefore, his most obvious destination is one that should terrify Chargers fans. If Hill ends up reuniting with the Kansas City Chiefs, it could be one of the pieces their rivals need to fling themselves back into Super Bowl contention.
A Tyreek Hill-Chiefs reunion could be in store, and it could be absolutely disastrous for the AFC West
For so long, the AFC West (and the AFC as a whole) have ran through Kansas City. Chargers fans will remember with horror the heyday of the Chiefs' offense, when Hill posted 1,000 yards in four out of the five seasons between 2017 and 2021.
When he left the division to join the Dolphins, fans of every other team heaved a sigh of relief.
Of course, he's not the same player he once was. He suffered a devastating knee injury early in 2025. It remains to be seen what kind of speed or burst he'll have when he returns.
But if you give Patrick Mahomes a familiar, speedy target, bad things can certainly happen.
For now, the balance of power has shifted in the AFC West. The Denver Broncos will look to continue to grow on their AFC Championship run from this season. Los Angeles will hopefully have the pieces and the protection they need to truly enter Super Bowl contention. Even the Las Vegas Raiders could be poised for a massive turnaround.
But there's a clear sticking point. As easy as it could be to write Kansas City off, they are realistically just a few moves away from returning to their former dominance. That's the kind of chance Mahomes gives you when he's healthy.
If they were to take a swing on Hill, and it were to pay off, one piece of the puzzle would be in place. The Chiefs desperately need a more dependable receiving threat.
From there, a cleaning up of their defensive line and the addition of a workhorse running back in the draft or free agency could make them seriously dangerous again.
It's a thought that should send shivers down the spines of Chargers fans everywhere.
