Tyreek Hill won’t face charges through the legal system, the Johnson County District Attorney announced Wednesday. But the professional future of the Chiefs’ wide receiver isn’t yet known.
Though prosecutors declined to act, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell could issue a league punishment for a violation of the NFL’s personal conduct policy via authority granted to him in Article 46 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the league and the NFL Players Union (NFLPA).
According to that section of the 2011 CBA, regardless of crime or legal charges, Goodell can take action against Hill for “conduct detrimental to the integrity of, or public confidence in, the game of professional football.
