Report: Chiefs, Hill could talk extension depending on result of investigation

There may be a scenario in which wide receiver Tyreek Hill returns to the Kansas City Chiefs and the two sides re-engage in discussions on a contract extension, according to Terez Paylor of Yahoo Sports.

Hill spoke with NFL investigators on Wednesday in a meeting that reportedly lasted eight hours. The meeting centered around the child abuse investigation surrounding the player and the audio recordings released in April in which Hill was heard threatening his fiancee and discussing circumstances that resulted in their 3-year-old son suffering a broken arm.

Those with knowledge of the meeting believe there is optimism that it was a "positive" one for Hill, Paylor reported. The Chiefs are reportedly hopeful that the league will hand down its ruling on the matter in time for Hill to attend training camp, which opens July 26.

If Hill is present for the beginning of training camp and if the investigation ends positively for him, the Chiefs and Hill's camp could "potentially re-engage in contract negotiations for an extension in the not-too-distant future," Paylor reported, citing a league source.

The Chiefs told Hill to stay away from team-related activities in April when the audio recordings emerged. Prior to that, in March, the team had reportedly begun negotiations with Hill on a potentially record-setting deal.
