Ex-Chiefs’ Tyreek Hill Sends Rashee Rice Message Amid Week 7 Win Over Raiders
With star wide receiver Rashee Rice back on the field for the first time in over a year, the Kansas City Chiefs routed the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7, and the display of force caught the attention of former superstar WR Tyreek Hill.
“Also Rashee Rice is so dangerous !!” Hill posted on X during the KC victory. Adding: “Chiefs back rolling love to see it.”
Also Rashee Rice is so dangerous !! Chiefs back rolling love to see it
Hill is currently out for the season after suffering a dislocated left knee and multiple torn ligaments, including his ACL, so he was watching Week 7 from the sidelines.
Earlier in the afternoon on October 19, Hill posted about his current team, the Miami Dolphins. It was a rough day for the Dolphins, as they were blown out by the Cleveland Browns, 31-6.
“Watching your team play through a TV is hard,” Hill wrote about Miami. Later, he commented: “Let’s go fins let’s turn this thing around in the second half.”
Finally, he turned his attention to Rice and the Chiefs with the above post.
Rashee Rice Has Taken Over for Tyreek Hill as Patrick Mahomes & the Chiefs’ New WR1
Rice had a very successful return, catching 7 of 10 targets for 42 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns. Considering Kansas City pulled their starters and ran out the clock towards the tail end of the shutout, Rice could have probably produced a few more receptions, too, had the score been closer.
In 2024, Rice appeared to be taking the torch from tight end Travis Kelce as the most important playmaker within the KC offense before his injury. That mantle was once held by Hill, as well, so there is a symbolic connection between Rice and the former Chiefs superstar.
Both know what it’s like to reach the top of the mountain with Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City, as one-time Super Bowl champions, each. The only difference is Rice’s Chiefs era is just beginning, while Hill seems to be reminiscing on old times.
Will Tyreek Hill & the Chiefs Discuss a 2026 Reunion, Assuming He’s Released by the Dolphins?
As the Dolphins struggled out of the gates in 2025, many pondered a Hill trade to KC. But realistically, the financial numbers just wouldn’t have worked.
That impediment could change in 2026, let’s say the Dolphins release Hill, as many believe they will.
By designating Hill as a post-June 1 cut in 2026, the front office could save $36 million in cap space. And for an organization that could be rebuilding around a new head coach and general manager next year, that type of financial flexibility could prove very helpful.
Although it’s unclear if Hill would be ready for Week 1, he could sign wherever he wants if he’s released by Miami. He could also sign for a relatively cheap amount if his number one priority is winning, being that the Dolphins are still paying him a lot of money.
That sets up the Chiefs as an obvious potential landing spot, so long as there’s no hard feelings between the two sides. Hill seems to be publicly making it known that he’s still a fan of Kansas City, hinting that he’d be open to a reunion.
But would the Chiefs want Hill back? KC has never been one to totally dismiss a talented player like Hill just because of their off-the-field drama. And we know how much head coach Andy Reid and general manager Brett Veach love reunions.
Still, this doesn’t necessarily feel like a done deal, considering Kansas City has moved on to younger, more team-oriented fits at the position.
Steelers ‘Once Again in the Market’ to Make 1 Move at NFL Trade Deadline: Report
Pundits have linked the Pittsburgh Steelers to wide receivers potentially on the NFL trade block for quite some time. That hasn’t changed even with Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers offensive excelling with a tight end-centric attack.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Sunday the Steelers are pursuing adding a wide receiver at the league’s trade deadline.
“The Steelers are, once again, in the market for a receiver, sources say,” Rapoport wrote. “Their offense has thrived by featuring multiple tight ends, but the addition of a speed threat to pair with DK Metcalf would help Aaron Rodgers and the offense.”
Top wideout DK Metcalf leads the Steelers with 22 catches this season. However, he’s the only receiver in Pittsburgh’s offense who is ranked in the top five in receptions for the unit.
Steelers No. 2 receiver Calvin Austin III is sixth for the team with 10 catches. Roman Wilson is third among Steelers wideouts and eighth on the team with four grabs.
Of Rodgers’ 14 touchdown passes this year, only seven of them have gone to receivers.
Clearly, the Steelers could use another outside playmaker.
Steelers Pursing WR Addition for Aaron Rodgers
Part of why the Steelers don’t have a lot of production at WR2 is because Austin is currently dealing with an injury. The 26-year-old has been sidelined since the fourth quarter of Week 4 because of a shoulder ailment.
That injury, though, just highlights how little depth the Steelers have a receiver.
A former third-round pick, Wilson has come on a little the past couple games. But mostly, the Steelers passing offense is Metcalf and the team’s tight ends.
On Thursday, Rodgers threw four touchdowns, all of which went to three different tight ends.
Running backs Kenneth Gainwell and Jaylen Warren have been significant contributors to the Steelers passing game as well. Gainwell and Warren are ranked second and fourth on the team, respectively, in catches.
If the Steelers could add a wideout, then they would gain additional insurance if Austin continues to be sidelined. Should Pittsburgh acquire an experienced veteran receiver, then the offense would have the ability to play three wide receiver sets more often once Austin returns as well.
