It reads: “Today stars a new beginning. I’m very excited to be joining the Miami Dolphins and get to work, however it’s hard thinking about the memories, people, and fans that made my time in Kansas City so great. To my family and especially my kids, thank you for being my biggest supporters. Daddy loves you! I’m grateful to those who joined me in giving back to the Kansas City community through the Tyreek Hill Family Foundation. From college scholarships, youth football camps, funding the first youth mental health navigator at marillac, donating supplies to the homeless and visits with kids in the hospital, we couldn’t have made the impact without all of you. Thank you to the Chiefs organization for believing in me. I’ll never forget getting the call in 2016 that my dream to play in the NFL was coming true. I worked hard every day to show my appreciation for you taking a chance on me. To Coach Reid, Coach Bieniemy, and Coach Lewis, thank you for what you have taught me not only about football but life. Thank you to Pat, Kelce, Demarcus, and Dieter along with all my teammates. I’m proud to have taken the field with each of you. You are what made each day worth it. We are brothers for life. To the fans, thank you for your support. Playing for you has been one of the greatest things I have done in my life. Your energy, passion, and loyalty for the team is indescribable. It was an honor to play in front of you. Kansas City will always hold a special place in my heart! CHEETAH OUT! Tyreek Hill “Cheetah”.

In six seasons in Kansas City, Hill accumulated 479 receptions, 6,630 receiving yards and 56 receiving touchdowns. Additionally, Hill was a weapon in the run game and on special teams, adding 719 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns, while scoring four touchdowns on special teams, as well.

Shortly after the former Kansas City star was traded to the Dolphins, Miami extended his deal, tacking on four-years for $120 million, including $72.2 million guaranteed, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The deal makes him the highest paid wide receiver in the National Football League, per Schefter.

Tyreek Hill’s impact on the Chiefs was undeniable over the years. However, if the NFL offseason has proven one thing, it’s that no one — not Russell Wilson, not Davante Adams, and now not Tyreek Hill — is untouchable.
