Jay Glazer of the Athletic heard some rumblings at the start of free agency that Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill was being discussed in trade talks, but he figured it was related to his contract situation at the time.
Glazer believes the matter regarding multiple incidents at Hill’s home will take some time to be fully resolved.
According to KCTV News 5, police were called to a home on Thursday and had previously been called to the same residence back on March to investigate a report of child abuse or neglect.
The police report from March 5 shows Hill’s name, but Overland Park police tell KCTV that the report was closed three days later.
Beyond that, Hill’s name is also not listed on the most recent battery report, but his address is shown under the location.
KCTV’s sources have said that Overland Park Police Department has turned over their investigation to the Johnson County District Attorney’s Office for review.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media previously reported that the Chiefs have begun negotiations with Hill on what will end up being a record-setting deal when complete.
Hill, 25, is a former fifth-round pick of the Chiefs back in 2016. He is entering the final year of his four-year, $2.58 million contract and stands to make a base salary of $1,965,036 for the 2019 season.
In 2018, Hill appeared in 16 games for the Chiefs and caught 87 passes for 1,479 yards receiving and 12 touchdowns to go along with 151 yards rushing and a touchdown. Hill also totaled 213 punt returns and one touchdown. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 7 receiver out of 117 qualifying players.
