KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs kept Patrick Mahomes in the loop last month as they attempted to trade wide receiver Tyreek Hill, letting their star quarterback know the team may soon be without one of the most prolific wide receivers of his era.
But Mahomes said he was still stunned in the moments after Hill was traded to the Miami Dolphins.
"My initial reaction was a little bit of shock,'' Mahomes said Monday as the Chiefs began their offseason program. "Even though you knew this was a possibility, (losing) a guy you had played with and built a friendship with over the last six years, it was definitely something you didn't want him to leave more for being able to hang out in the locker room and do that stuff more than the actual on-the-field stuff.
