A reunion between the New York Giants and Odell Beckham Jr. might occur if the wideout meets the team’s conditions. However, the Big Blue could face competition from the Kansas City Chiefs for the veteran WR if Andy Reid and company don’t complete a reunion of their own with Tyreek Hill.
The Chiefs have been mentioned as a potential destination for OBJ by John Breech of CBS Sports, a possibility that wouldn’t be far-fetched considering that Kansas City could benefit from a veteran addition to its WR room.
That’s one of the reasons Hill has been linked with a return to the Chiefs, where he shined from 2016 to 2021 before leaving for the Miami Dolphins — a trade that made noise at first but eventually aged poorly for both Cheetah and the Fins.
Tyreek Hill’s availability leads to Chiefs speculation
Hill, 32, remains a free agent after being released by the Dolphins in February, a move that allowed Miami to free up nearly $23 million in cap space as the wideout carried a $51.1 million cap hit in 2026.

His track record of success with Patrick Mahomes back in the day makes his free agent status an intriguing opportunity for Reid and the Chiefs, who enjoyed productive All-Pro and Pro Bowl seasons from the wide receiver during his time in Kansas City, highlighted by a Super Bowl LIV win.
That said, Hill’s health might be a serious concern as he underwent major surgery in 2025 for a dislocated left knee and multiple torn ligaments, including his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
| Season | Receptions and receiving yards | Touchdowns |
| 2022 | 119 catches for 1,710 yds | 7 |
| 2023 | 119 catches for 1,799 yds | 13 |
| 2024 | 81 catches for 959 yds | 6 |
| 2025 | 21 catches for 265 yds | 1 |
That injury, in addition to his declining production with the Dolphins over the last few years, could make Reid and the Chiefs hesitate about bringing Hill back.
“The team could look to reunite with Tyreek Hill, but if Reid doesn’t want to go that route, then the Chiefs should definitely look at Beckham,” wrote Breech.
Chiefs could use a veteran like Hill or OBJ despite decline
Beckham Jr. might create similar concerns though, as he didn’t even play in 2025. OBJ’s career hasn’t been the same after the torn ACL sustained during Super Bowl LVI with the Los Angeles Rams, with lackluster stops in Baltimore and Miami after his time in LA.
Set to turn 34 in November, Beckham Jr. may no longer provide the spark he once did in the NFL. But for a team like the Giants or Chiefs, his experience could still be useful in a WR room that lacks a true veteran. Reid recently lost one in Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, who joined the Philadelphia Eagles in free agency.
| Wide receiver | Age |
| Rashee Rice | 25 (turns 26 in April) |
| Xavier Worthy | 22 (turns 23 in April) |
| Tyquan Thornton | 25 (turns 26 in August) |
| Nikko Remigio | 26 (turns 27 in November) |
| Jason Brownlee | 27 |
| Jalen Royals | 23 |
| Jimmy Holiday | 24 (turns 25 in December) |
| Andrew Armstrong | 25 (turns 26 in October) |
With this in mind, Hill and Beckham Jr. could be names to watch if the Chiefs feel like adding experience to the WR depth chart.
