It looks like Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones wants Tyreek Hill back in Kansas City.

After the Miami Dolphins released the wide receiver Monday, Jones took to social media to send a not-so-subtle message to Hill about where he should sign next.

Hill spent the first six years of his career with the Chiefs and was teammates with Jones from 2016-21, as the two were selected in the same draft class.

The 31-year-old wide receiver won Super Bowl LIV in Kansas City and earned three first-team All-Pro nominations with the organization. During his six-year tenure with the Chiefs, Hill posted 479 receptions for 6,630 receiving yards and 62 total touchdowns in 91 regular-season contests.

Kansas City has struggled to find quarterback Patrick Mahomes a No. 1 wide receiver since trading Hill to the Dolphins in 2022. No Chiefs pass-catcher outside of tight end Travis Kelce has exceeded 1,000 receiving yards in a single campaign over the last four years.

It's still unclear when Hill can return to the field after undergoing surgery in late September to repair a dislocated knee along with torn ligaments. However, Hill said Monday that he has no plans to retire and will play in the NFL again.

"The Cheetah don't slow down," Hill posted on Instagram after being released by Miami. "To everyone wondering what's next ... just wait on it. The Cheetah will be back ... Born again."
