Before the Kansas City Chiefs traded for receiver DeAndre Hopkins on Wednesday morning, the team was in discussions with the Los Angeles Rams about acquiring Cooper Kupp.
However, any trade talks failed amongst the Chiefs and the Rams because of Kupp's salary, The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported. The Chiefs were looking for a team who could still pay a big part of the salary of whichever receiver they traded for, and they didn't want to give up high draft picks. It seems that the Rams weren't willing to do this, but the Tennessee Titans were with Hopkins.
