FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- On March 18, New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas received a call from Tyreek Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus. The Kansas City Chiefs had granted Rosenhaus permission to shop the star wide receiver, and now he was reaching out to see if the Jets were interested.
They were. Very.
What unfolded was a five-day pursuit that included a compensation agreement with the Chiefs, an elaborate sales pitch to Hill's camp and a contract proposal that would've made Hill the highest-paid player in franchise history -- by far.
