Trading Stars to Rebuild: A case study

Hill's 4 years + postseasons with Mahomes: 416 catches, 5,818 yards, 48 TD
Kelce those same 4 years + postseasons: 480 catches, 6,103 yards, 46 TD

Kelce put up better stats and his position is 1/2 of the cost. Having 1 All-Pro pass catcher is fine, you don't need two, and it makes sense to get rid of your #2. Hill got to go against the Chiefs twice to show them they were wrong and his team put up 14 and 7 points and won zero playoff games.

Now Kelce is indeed as you mentioned older and he seems a little cooked now in 2024, but I highly doubt they care after it allowed them to win 2 more SBs after the trade and are at least a possibility for a third straight.
