Chiefs appeal ruling of tampering with Jeremy Maclin

BOCA RATON, Fla.

The Chiefs have decided to appeal the league’s tampering ruling, Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said Monday at the NFL’s annual league meeting.

“As we indicated in the statement, we intended to file and we have filed that appeal at this point,” Hunt said.

Hunt declined to comment further on the matter, noting that he was limited on what he could say publicly because it is currently under appeal.

However, it is known that appeals are generally heard by the commissioner or his designee, which can be someone else in the league office or someone from outside.
