Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who spent the first six seasons of his career with the Kansas City Chiefs, made some comments this week that made him look extremely foolish.
Hill recently appeared on the Club Shay Shay podcast with Shannon Sharpe and he explained why he wanted to leave the Chiefs.
Guaranteed money was a big part of the decision (Miami offered more in guarantees than Kansas City), but that wasn't the only reason.
Hill also wanted more targets, something he mentioned during his appearance on the podcast.
"[There'd] be some games where I'd get two targets, I'd get three targets. We'd go into meetings and my coach would be like, 'We've got to get you involved, we've got to get you involved,'" said Hill. "So I'm calling my agent, every week after they say some crazy stuff like that like, 'Bro, I've got to get out of here.'"

Hill left a team that has won six straight division titles and is an annual Super Bowl contender because he didn't like how many targets he received (even though he had the seventh most targets in the NFL last season).
That team is still thriving without Hill. Meanwhile, Hill and the Dolphins are battling to make the playoffs.
Now, here's where Hill really looks foolish:
During Hill's six seasons with the Chiefs, there were 10 games where he saw three or fewer targets.
Kansas City went 8-2 in those games (both losses came during Hill's rookie season).
The Chiefs did what they needed to do to win games. Most weeks, that meant throwing the ball to Hill as often as possible. Some weeks, though, the game plan went away from Hill — likely because of the way the opposing team was playing defense in most cases.
Kansas City's strategy in those games clearly worked as evidenced by their 8-2 record.
Hill is essentially saying he's more worried about his stats than whether or not his team wins.
That's not exactly the type of attitude that cultivates a winning culture. Maybe the Chiefs are better off without him. It certainly doesn't appear that they're hurting too badly without him as they sit atop the AFC West division with a three-game lead.
