Miami has arguably the worst receiver room in the league heading into 2026, with Tutu Atwell, Jalen Tolbert and Malik Washington set to be their leading trio at the position. They may be willing to take on the baggage that comes with Aiyuk to give Malik Willis someone to throw to.”Mike Masala of Niners Wire added, “Kansas City Chiefs Potential offer: 2027 sixth-round pick for Aiyuk and a 2027 seventh. Andy Reid is no stranger to a wide receiver with some off-field problems, having coached Tyreek Hill and Rashee Rice.
