DeAndre Hopkins might be on the Kansas City Chiefs if it wasn't for...Odell Beckham Jr.
According to Albert Breer of The MMQB, the lucrative contract that Beckham signed with the Baltimore Ravens priced Hopkins out of Kansas City's comfort zone:
"Kansas City made progress toward a deal, but things went a little sideways when Beckham got $15 million in base pay from Baltimore, making Hopkins feel like he should land at least that much, given that Beckham didn't play last year. The Chiefs wound up giving free-agent left tackle Donovan Smith a deal structured similarly to the offer they made Hopkins, which will make it more difficult for Kansas City to circle back.
