Chiefs’ Tyrann Mathieu, Broncos’ Chris Harris exchange tweets, ponder being teammates
The timing of the tweet by Denver Broncos’ cornerback Chris Harris Jr. couldn’t have been coincidental.
Less than 30 minutes after ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the Broncos had reached a deal to acquire cornerback A.J. Bouye from the Jaguars, Harris tweeted this message:
It seems likely that Harris will be a free agent and Chiefs defensive back Tyrann Mathieu apparently read that tweet with interest.
Mathieu, who is 5-foot-9, reached out to Harris, who is 5-10.
Harris, who was a star at KU and has been linked to the Chiefs by one former NFL player, seemed open to being teammates with Mathieu:
Mathieu simply wrote:
Safety Tony Jefferson, who was released by Baltimore last month, joined in the fun:
The Chiefs likely don’t have the salary-cap space to sign Harris, a four-time Pro Bowler who had a base salary of $9.8 million last year, per Spotrac.
