Tyreek Hill NOT coming to New England? Decision soon?
NFL insiders discuss Tyreek Hill's potential return. Could Tyreek Hill re-join Pat Mahomes and the Chiefs? Would Chiefs be the favorite in AFC?
Transcript
00:00Well, Greg, let's hear from a couple NFL insiders here.
00:03So Mike Garofalo and Jeffrey Chidiha talked about Tyreek Hill
00:07and which team may love him.
00:10And unfortunately, for some of us, maybe not for all of us,
00:13it is not the New England Patriots.
00:15We can hear them discuss Tyreek Hill.
00:18Tyreek Hill, even at, I don't know, 90%, let's just throw out a number,
00:22he can do that better than a lot of guys in this league.
00:25And I know that he's feeling good or feeling better
00:27as he gets through his rehab process.
00:29Jeff, if you're Drew Rosenhouse, you're telling people,
00:31I'm going to start negotiating with teams this week, everybody.
00:35And there are multiple teams that are interested, just to be clear,
00:39because as an agent, that's what you do.
00:41However, the best fit seems to be this one.
00:44It does seem to be Kansas City, and I've heard from the team sources
00:47that they love him or they like the idea of him as an option, Mike.
00:50But also they recognize it's going to be a few weeks
00:52before he's able to play football.
00:54And they're talking about maybe mid-November.
00:58So, even if you find the man and his character distasteful,
01:04do you have to have more interest in him if you're an AFC team
01:10because you don't want the Chiefs to get him?
01:12Yeah, I would think so.
01:13But I think Courtney had a great point yesterday where she basically was like,
01:16well, if possibly not bringing back Steph Diggs was the off-the-field stuff,
01:22there was no way they're going to jump in this pool with Tyreek Hill.
01:25So, yeah, he could be somebody that obviously goes somewhere in the AFC
01:30and that you have to deal with come playoffs if you make it to the playoffs,
01:33which I think they will.
01:34And, you know, you never want a guy over there that you go,
01:37man, we could have had him, and then he beat you on, you know,
01:40one play in a slant route or something that you could have had.
01:43So, yeah, I mean, I would definitely not want to see him in the AFC.
01:46Is there a chance that his first game or one of his first games on the Chiefs
01:50would be on Monday night against you?
01:52Oh, that would be awful.
01:55Is that December or November?
01:57I think it's like the first week of December the Patriots play.
02:00They play the Chiefs.
02:01No, December 21st, so right before Christmas.
02:03Oh, okay.
02:03So, no.
02:04He'll be.
02:04But you will have to go through him.
02:06Yeah.
02:06Yeah, and if you were to, you know,
02:08if he signs with any possible potential playoff team in the AFC,
02:13there's a chance that you might see him.
02:14But I think it's more about what Courtney said yesterday.
02:17If you didn't want to deal with the headache of Steph Diggs
02:20and what he was dealing with.
02:22Which he wasn't really a headache.
02:23Right, but I'm just saying, in their mind, like,
02:25there's no way you're bringing in Tyreek Hill.
02:27I'm just shocked that the Chiefs would be interested in such a bad guy.
02:30I mean, that's really against how they operate.
02:32I mean, do you really believe, though,
02:34that the reason, like, that they didn't take that option with Diggs
02:42was because of off-the-field stuff?
02:43Yes.
02:44You do?
02:45Because what on the field would it, like,
02:47you would get him for such a great price.
02:48He already has built that relationship with Drake May.
02:51Like, don't you wish he was still on this team?
02:53100%.
02:53I've said it a million times.
02:55But who do you think the choice it is?
02:57Right?
02:58This is a great question that you pose.
03:00If it is off-the-field stuff,
03:02I don't think that, in my opinion, it's Mike Vrabel going.
03:06No.
03:07I don't think he cares about that.
03:09Right.
03:09Like, the issue, so the Chef thing was litigated.
03:13I think most people believe that that was, that he was not in the wrong there.
03:18Right.
03:21But then you have the thing at the Super Bowl, which apparently caused an issue with the organization,
03:27or I guess I should say, I don't want to speculate, there was, like, maybe it was an issue with
03:33the organization
03:34where there was infighting amongst mothers of his children about where they were sitting,
03:41who was in there, you know, another one was there.
03:44Right.
03:44One was at a party, one was, whatever.
03:47But I don't think that's enough of a reason.
03:50It's a money thing.
03:51I think it was money, and I think he was due 20 million here,
03:55and they're looking at a player that's aging and going,
03:58all right, maybe we got the best year that we're going to get out of him at this point.
04:01But they could have re-signed them for less money.
04:03Right.
04:03But also, Mike Vrabel knew all along, I'm guessing, that he was going to get A.J. Brown.
04:08Right, but I still think they're like, all right, then why spend 30 million guaranteed more on Romeo Dobbs?
04:14Right.
04:14Because they felt like he is a younger ascending player.
04:16That's the difference, right?
04:17Like, Romeo Dobbs is this up-and-coming receiver that could be Steph Diggs instead of just keeping Steph Diggs.
04:23So they kind of, like, outsmarted themselves.
04:25I don't think it was, like, you've got to understand, the off-the-field issue wasn't the fact that it
04:29was just him
04:30and a couple baby mamas was a big problem.
04:32Because that happens all the time.
04:33I think the problem that might have, you know, magnified it is that the off-the-field issues was one
04:43of his baby mothers
04:44was arguably the most recognizable hip-hop, female hip-hop artist in the world.
04:50And that became more of anything that something happened with them, it was a major story.
04:56Meaning that she has, she could go Instagram Live and talk about what an awful guy you have on your
05:01team.
