The Kansas City Chiefs are heading into a season where they are, quite literally, out for revenge. And now, there\u2019s growing buzz that the team could reunite with a familiar face \u2014 if he becomes available on the trade market. Tyreek Hill has reportedly received trade interest from multiple teams, and one potential trade prediction has him going back to Kansas City.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter making strong investments at the position, the Kansas City Chiefs have no shortage of depth at receiver. While Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy are long-term building blocks, the Chiefs may feel comfortable including Hollywood Brown in a trade if it means reuniting Patrick Mahomes with Tyreek Hill again,\u201d Sportsnaut\u2019s Andrew Buller-Russ wrote.<\/p>\n

If this were to happen, it would bring back the original Mahomes-Hill-Kelce trio \u2014 a group that helped define the Chiefs\u2019 dominance over the last several years.<\/p>\n

Travis Kelce, speaking to Sean Manning of GQ, opened up about his emotions during his pre-draft visit with the Cleveland Browns, his hometown team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI cried in Chud’s office and said, ‘I will f–king die for this city!’ I literally was in tears. I said, ‘I’m sorry I’m getting emotional. I grew up down the street. I would f–king do anything to play for the Cleveland Browns.’ He looked at me like I was insane. I don’t think he’d ever had somebody just pour out their emotions,\u201d Kelce told Manning.<\/a><\/p>\n

Kelce didn\u2019t have his strongest season last year, but many believe he would have retired had the Chiefs completed an unprecedented Super Bowl three-peat.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the word ‘retire’ or ‘retirement’ doesn\u2019t appear anywhere in the lengthy article, it continues to feel likely that Kelce would have walked away if the Chiefs had completed the first ever Super Bowl three-peat. Given the way he discussed his future in the aftermath of the game, it felt like he still could,\u201d Pro Football Talk\u2019s Mike Florio wrote.<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to imagine a Chiefs offense without Travis Kelce. It\u2019s even harder to picture Mahomes trusting another target as much. The NFL has become so used to Kelce\u2019s presence that if he had retired, it simply wouldn\u2019t have felt real \u2014 not for a long time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Kansas City Chiefs are heading into a season where they are, quite literally, out for revenge.
