NFL Needs to Change a System That Reduces Risk for Teams to Take on a Troubled Player

Tyreek Hill is surely done playing for the Kansas City Chiefs, and he might be done playing in the NFL. He has been convicted of domestic abuse (in the court of law) and child abuse (in the court of public opinion, for credible reasons). Any team that signs him must accept the recent chilling audio of Hill threatening his fiancée Crystal Espinal as its new soundtrack. There is Espinal asking why the couple’s three-year-old son says “Daddy” broke his arm, and there is Hill telling Espinal, “You need to be terrified of me, too, b----,” and there is this context: In 2015, Hill was convicted of choking and punching Espinal.
