Could the Chiefs sign Hill, 32, to a free-agent deal? Or is another free agent on their radar?
Chiefs general manager Brett Veach was asked about that possibility last week when he was on ESPN’s “Pat McAfee Show.”
Eighteen free agents were shown on the screen during the Veach interview, including Hill and fellow receivers Deebo Samuel, Keenan Allen and Stefon Diggs. Former Chiefs cornerback L’Jarius Sneed was on the list, along with linebacker Kyle Van Noy, offensive lineman Taylor Decker and defensive end Cameron Jordan.
“Some of those players that you have listed there, I think I’ve spoken to some of those agents already,” Veach noted.
The Chiefs begin organized team activities later this month, which is phase two of the offseason. But free agents could be making a visit to Kansas City in the coming weeks.
There is no set timetable, but Veach does expect to be busy as the Chiefs decide whether to add a free agent. And he certainly seems open to signing a player.
“We’re going to go through probably phase two, but, I mean, we’ll start picking up the phone, reaching out to agents,” Veach said. “May have some visits here in the late spring, early summer, before training camp.
