NFL News: Chiefs GM not worried about team's offense after Tyreek Hill's departure

Quarterbacks may have taken much of the spotlight thisNFL offseason, but wide receivers have also made a statement. Davante Adams, Amari Cooper, and A.J. Brown are just some of the wideouts who were on the move.

Tyreek Hill, however, may have been the most notable WR to change teams this year. The Kansas City Chiefs traded Cheetah to the Miami Dolphins, a deal that took many by surprise.

One of, if not the fastest player in the league, Hill formed a prolific duo with Patrick Mahomes during his stay in Kansas City. Chiefs GM Brett Veach, however, believes the team will overcome his absence.

Brett Veach optimistic about Chiefs’ 2022 season despite Hill’s departure

“I think that the cool thing about what we have here is when you have a coach like Andy Reid and an offensive coordinator like Eric Bieniemy and Pat Mahomes,” Veach said, per ProFootballTalk. “I think there’s many ways to score points and many ways to move the football. I think you’ve seen Coach [Reid] do it over the years with different types of skillsets and different types of quarterbacks. He’s had an advantage because no quarterback he’s ever had is quite as gifted as Pat.

“We still love the talent on this team. We have guys that can run in Mecole Hardman and MVS. We’re going to add a rookie here in Skyy Moore. We have some size with Travis and with JuJu. I think on top of that, we also have a great offensive line. I think there’ll be many ways to score points and I think Coach will never be short of creativity. I think our game plan will be much like it was and has been every year. That’s just find ways to get these guys in positions to win. Now listen, with Tyreek it was a little easier because we’d just tell him to run. That’s the way of winning. With these guys we have here, they may not be as fast, but we have a ton of talent.”

Veach has all fair points. Hill’s departure is certainly a blow, but it’s not the end of the world. The Chiefs still have Travis Kelce and added new weapons in offense. But most importantly, they still have Mahomes under center.
