KC, BUF had 'substantive' talks with AZ for Nuk
Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reports the Chiefs and Bills were the only teams to have "substantive" trade talks with the Cardinals for WR DeAndre Hopkins.
Advice: Breer adds that contract details prevented either team from pulling the trigger before the NFL Draft and that Kansas City appeared to be close to a deal before Odell Beckham signed a one-year, $15 million contract with the Ravens. The Chiefs would seem to make more sense for Hopkins considering their glaring need for a prototypical X-style wide receiver, whereas the Bills already have one of the best X receivers in the game in Stefon Diggs. Both teams have significant cap issues, which seemingly means very little in today's NFL as teams have multiple tools at their disposal to save against the cap including restructures, deferred guarantees, and converting portions of contracts to signing bonuses.
