July 19, 2019 Hill, 25, is one of the NFL's most explosive and dynamic players. Last season, Hill caught 87 balls for 1,479 yards and 12 touchdowns. He rushed for another 151 yards and a score and returned a punt for a touchdown.
On April 26th, Chiefs GM Brett Veach announced that Hill was suspended from team activities as a result of the ongoing child abuse investigation.
The league will leave the case open incase further evidence emerges, according to
ESPN's Adam Schefter, but Hill is now free to report to camp and play this season.
Hill is entering the final year of his contract and, naturally, contract negotiations are going to be tricky.
My understanding is it is will most likely be several weeks if not months before contract talks between Tyreek Hill and the Chiefs start back up. He’s in the final year of his rookie contact and this new contract will mostly have some very specific language within it.
