Chiefs Somehow Letting Tyreek Hill Contract Extension Report Leak is a True Disgrace | TOMMY'S TAKES

Earlier this week we learned Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill met with the NFL for almost an entire day regarding the ongoing investigation surrounding his alleged child abuse incident.

That meeting was said to be "positive" and KC is hopeful Hill will be allowed to attend Chiefs' training camp when the time comes, though the investigation is still ongoing and there's no timetable for the league to potentially discipline him.

This situation clearly appears to be on the mend for Hill, but the Chiefs really couldn't wait to start running their mouths about possibly talking about a new contract with their wideout once this all comes to an end? We know it's going to happen, but when a potential heinous situation is engulfing your organization, do you really need to jump the gun and prematurely celebrate that your star player is going to get off clean and you're going to be able to keep him for the foreseeable future?

Haven't NFL teams learned by now? It's all about optics. It's politics in a sense. Most of us know what's going on behind closed doors, but once you let something leak and it becomes widely reported as fact, you're officially in the mud.

And this is all the more salient because he could be suspended next month!

It's beyond puzzling because the Chiefs are no stranger to this, especially since Hill came into the NFL with off-the-field troubles and glaring character issues. They drafted him anyway. They had to deal with the whole Kareem Hunt fiasco and didn't pull the trigger on his release until the world had to witness the video evidence of him kicking a woman. But, this organization clearly doesn't learn. They traded for star pass rusher Frank Clark and signed him to a massive extension despite his troubling past (he was jailed on suspicion of domestic violence) and was kicked off the Michigan football team for an incident with his then-girlfriend in which he was charged with misdemeanor domestic violence and assault.

So, is this all disgraceful on the Chiefs' part? Yup. But, it's par for the course. Information leaking about the team's eagerness to extend Hill when his current legal troubles are in the rearview shouldn't surprise us at all.
