Top 3 BIG-NAME Players The Kansas City Chiefs Could Sign Based On Top NFL Cut Candidates

Potential Chiefs Targets from Dolphins Cuts

• 💡 The Miami Dolphins recently released key players, creating potential free agency targets for the Kansas City Chiefs.
• 🏈 Tyreek Hill was cut by the Dolphins in a cap-saving move, making him a highly discussed candidate for a Chiefs reunion.
• ⚡ Bradley Chubb, an edge rusher, was also released by the Dolphins and is considered a smart signing option for the Chiefs' defensive needs.

Tyreek Hill's Injury & Contract Considerations

• ⚠️ Tyreek Hill has a significant LCL injury requiring another surgery, which could delay his return until late in the 2026 season or even next year, classifying it as career-threatening.
• 💰 A potential contract for Hill should be 1-2 years maximum with very little guaranteed money, emphasizing per-game bonuses and production-based incentives.
• ✅ This incentive-laden deal would allow Hill to prove he is still a top receiver while minimizing risk for the Chiefs.

Bradley Chubb: Pass Rush Upgrade

• 📊 Bradley Chubb's 2025 stats included 47 tackles, 8.5 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles, despite being one of his worst production seasons.
• 🎯 The Chiefs have a critical need to upgrade their defensive line and pass rush, an area where Chubb could provide a substantial improvement.
• 💸 Due to his declining production and injury history, a deal for Chubb should be low-cost, ideally between $10-15 million annually, to avoid overpaying.

Alvin Kamara as a Change-of-Pace Back

• 🏃 Alvin Kamara from the New Orleans Saints is identified as a strong candidate to be an elite change-of-pace running back for the Chiefs.
• 📈 In 11 games, Kamara posted nearly 700 total yards and maintained his consistent receiving presence, despite not being an elite number one back anymore.
• 🧩 A proposed running back depth chart includes Jeremiyah Love (a potential 2026 NFL Draft pick) as RB1, Kamara as a change-of-pace back, and Kareem Hunt for situational usage, creating a significantly upgraded unit.
