The Facts: With the Kansas City Chiefs a win away from Super Bowl LIII, the franchise is well-aware of the talent it has and that it needs to lock it up. Atop that list is Hill.
Diehards Line:
The Chiefs intend to work on a long-term contract extension with the dynamic talent in the offseason, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Sunday. "No doubt he's going to be one of the highest-paid, if not the highest-paid receivers in the NFL," Rapoport said. Hill, in his third season, had 1,479 yards and 12 touchdowns on 87 catches. He's in the third year of a four-year contract and set to make just $720,00 in 2019. ... In addition, the Chiefs are expected to try to lock up pass rusher Chris Jones with an extension. Dee Ford, another stellar pass rusher for the Chiefs, could possibly get the franchise tag, Rapoport said.
