how close was i? who? the jets? nah.

• Before signing with the Miami Dolphins, another team was reportedly in the race to trade for Tyreek Hill. But he didn't have much interest in signing with the New York Jets if we are judging by this statement.
  

Doesn't sound like @cheetah was even close to picking the #Jets after all. pic.twitter.com/uyHYRWiW3c

• After trading Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins, the Kansas City Chiefs were in the market for another star-wide receiver. They got theirs on Thursday by signing former Green Bay Packer Marquez Valdes-Scantling to a three-year deal worth up to $36 million. While you're still probably not completely replacing such a dynamic player like Hill, MVS is a solid option in a position of need.
  

The #Chiefs are signing former #Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to a three-year, $30 million deal with $18 million in the first two years and incentives to reach a maximum of $36 million, his agents @NSAFootball tell @RapSheet and me. □□

• Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals had some ~drama~ this offseason when Murray scrubbed his Instagram account from all traces of the team. His agent then released a statement basically stating, "fuck you, pay me." Murray appears to have squashed all of that drama (as of now, at least). Murray is likely still looking for a new contract, but all seems good between the two.

• NFL draft prospect Desmond Ridder had his Pro Day on Thursday, and several teams were in attendance. Several teams who made the trip are in dire need of a quarterback, but some are not. The Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans, New York Giants, and New Orleans Saints are a few of those "dark horse" teams that could make a push for the Cincinnati QB.
