AFC West Notes: Tyreek Hill, Chiefs, Raiders

May 3, 2019

Charles Robinson spoke with multiple decision-level executives from different NFL teams and all of them said that barring a legal prosecution revealing guilt or more detail, they believe Tyreek Hill will be on a team in the future whether it’s with the Chiefs or some other team.
Regarding the idea of the Browns being a potential landing spot, given that GM John Dorsey drafted him and has signed Kareem Hunt, an executive tells Robinson: “I think [Dorsey] has exhausted his political capital in that area.”
Should Hunt be cleared of wrongdoing, Robinson says a potential long-term contract remains in question and he suspects that any deal would either be limited guarantees or have significant mechanisms to recoup money or void the deal.

Alex Marvez first reported that the Raiders are hiring Cowboys West Coast-area scout Jim Abrams as their new college scouting director.
