Listen, DeAndre Hopkins is a darn good receiver.
But right now, in a vacuum, Cooper Kupp is probably the better option to trade for if you’re a contender like the Kansas City Chiefs, right?
So you might be wondering why the Chiefs opted to make a deal with the Tennessee Titans for Hopkins instead of for a trade with the Los Angeles Rams for Kupp.
There’s actually an answer for that! Per Dianna Russini: there were discussions between the Chiefs and Rams, but Kansas City “needed to trade with a team that was willing to take on a large chunk of the salary and didn’t want to give up high picks.”
There you have it.
The Rams and the the Chiefs discussed Cooper Kupp, but the Super Bowl champs needed to trade with a team that was willing to take on a large chunk of the salary and didn’t want to give up high picks. Tennessee is the team willing to play ball.
