The Kansas City Chiefs, at least right now, appear to be in a good spot, roster-wise, for 2026.
Granted, player acquisition is a 365-day-a-year job, and the trade deadline still has a handful of months to go, so the Chiefs can still add pieces to the roster.
But who?
Right now, it is hard to guess, as the franchise addressed many needs in free agency and the NFL Draft, but CBS Sports' Bryan DeArdo thinks one move might be worth a gamble for Kansas City.
And that's bringing back Tyreek Hill.
"It's been a quiet offseason for Hill, who is still working his way back from last year's horrific, season-ending knee injury," DeArdo writes. "At age 32 and coming off a major injury, Hill's best chance at playing this season might be back in Kansas City in a complementary role.
"The Chiefs aren't lacking at receiver, but can you really ever have too many wideouts in today's NFL? The answer is no, which is one reason why a Hill-Chiefs reunion is likely. Hill's rapport with Patrick Mahomes doesn't hurt, either."

Does a Hill move make sense?
To an extent, yes.
The Chiefs and Hill have history, and a good one at that. But Tyreek would come to Kansas City and likely be nothing more than a complementary piece for Andy Reid.
With Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, Tyquan Thornton, and Jalen Royals, there is a spot for him on the depth chart.
But coming back from such a nasty injury, what Hill are we going to get? Plus, what sort of money will he command? The Chiefs aren't likely to offer him a $15 million APY deal, are they?
So, a reunion makes some sense at face value, but I just think the juice might not be worth the squeeze.
