Chiefs, Andy Reid Part Ways; Star Player May Return for 2026 Season

Chiefs, Andy Reid Part Ways; Star Player May Return for 2026 Season

The Kansas City Chiefs are set to welcome back Eric Bieniemy as their offensive coordinator for the 2026 season. This decision, made by head coach Andy Reid, marks a significant shift after Matt Nagy’s departure from the position. Bieniemy’s return has sparked excitement among fans and players alike.

Tyreek Hill’s Potentail Return

Star wide receiver Tyreek Hill hinted at a potential reunion with the Chiefs on social media, referencing Bieniemy’s return by stating, “EB to the Chiefs hm.” Since the end of the 2024 season, Hill has expressed dissatisfaction with the Miami Dolphins, especially after they hired Jeff Hafley as the new head coach.

Dolphins’ Rebuilding Process

  • The Miami Dolphins are entering a rebuilding phase.
  • Jon-Eric Sullivan has been appointed as the team’s general manager.
  • This change raises the possibility of Hill being traded or released.

With the Dolphins in transition, Hill’s future is uncertain. The Chiefs may look to capitalize on this opportunity as they prepare for a Super Bowl run.

Mahomes’ Tribute to Nagy

In light of these changes, Patrick Mahomes expressed gratitude towards Matt Nagy, who played a pivotal role during his time with the team. After the announcement, Mahomes shared, “Thank you coach for everything! Made me a better player and man!”

The Future of Hill with the Chiefs

Hill’s desire to leave the Dolphins has been clear, as he seeks a chance at a championship. An injury in 2025 temporarily halted trade talks. However, with the changing landscape in Miami, Hill’s departure could be on the horizon.

The Chiefs’ receiving corps could look formidable with Hill potentially joining forces with Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy, all orchestrated under Bieniemy’s strategy. Furthermore, this scenario could influence Travis Kelce’s decision regarding retirement, especially if Mahomes’ recovery keeps him ready for the 2026 season.
