KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have built a Super Bowl-worthy defense over the past two years in part because they made the difficult decision to trade Tyreek Hill away. The deal that sent the game-breaking wide receiver to the Dolphins landed Kansas City five draft picks, and some of them were used to secure All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie and safety Chamarri Conner. And the money that the Chiefs saved by not giving Hill a lucrative long-term contract has helped them to fill out their roster in free agency.
