Tyreek Hill, a former wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs who is currently with the Miami Dolphins, recently revealed the reason behind the Chiefs’ success for ongoing Super Bowl victories of their great players on the “MILLION DOLLAZ WORTH OF GAME” podcast.

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are the “Core Guys”

In response to a question concerning the Chiefs’ apparent hesitation to offer their players more than $20 million, Hill stated that the team prioritizes a high value on keeping its “core guys” together. He distinctly identified Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes as those crucial players and said:

“No no! Nobody’s Travis Kelce. Nobody’s Patrick Mahomes either. Those two are they are just different. They deserve to be the highest paid. But obviously, they gonna take friendly deals because you know keep the team together.”

Hill claims that Mahomes signed a contract that enables other players to be happy as well and doesn’t take everything at once. Hill calculated Kelce’s compensation to be between $14 and $15 million, showing how the two maintain their modesty to make sure the club as a whole reaps the rewards of their deals.
