Dolphins-Colts sideline sees Tyreek Hill expressing discontentment, possibly signaling a potential trade move to Kansas City

The NFL season of 2025 has seen its fair share of drama, and one of the most intriguing stories revolves around Tyreek Hill, the enigmatic wide receiver currently with the Miami Dolphins.

Hill's performance towards the end of the 2024 season with the Dolphins was rocky, and this trend continued into the 2025 season. In Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts, Hill displayed frustration on the field, with his outburst caught on camera and sparking trade discussions.

Despite a stagnant Miami offense and a 30-0 deficit, Hill, who was the team's leading pass catcher during the game, did not hide his feelings. He was seen throwing his arms in the air and speaking angrily to the team coach on the sidelines. This incident has fueled speculation that Hill might be seeking a move back to the Kansas City Chiefs, the team he left to join the Dolphins in the 2022 offseason.

Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs' quarterback, has expressed his hope for Hill's return. The Chiefs, who are in need of a wide receiver due to Xavier Worthy's injury, are considered a top candidate interested in acquiring Hill. However, as of mid-September 2025, the Chiefs have not formally initiated trade talks and have stated they are not actively seeking a trade for Hill despite early offensive struggles.

Hill's relationship with his quarterback in Miami is described as a 'work in progress', and his frustration on the field may be a reflection of this. The Miami Dolphins are expected to potentially trade Hill before the November 4, 2025 NFL trade deadline if their record is below .500. With Hill in the final year of his contract and possibly facing a cut after the season, the Dolphins may choose to capitalise on his value while they can.

The Kansas City Chiefs, with star receiver Rashee Rice suspended for the first six weeks, could provide a welcoming environment for Hill's return. However, the trade rumours remain speculative but plausible if the Dolphins’ performance declines. The Chiefs have been making headlines off the field in Brazil, despite losing in their season opener, but the acquisition of Hill could certainly shift the focus back to their on-field performance.
