Teams represented at Odell Beckham Jr.'s private workout in Arizona today included the Panthers, Giants, Patriots, Rams, Cardinals, 49ers, Bills, Chiefs, Vikings, Browns and Ravens, per source.
Talked to a few people who attended Odell Beckham's workout. One noted how noticeably muscular Beckham looks now, likening him to a combination of Saquon Barkley and Deebo Samuel. Another said Beckham is simply a gifted athlete and that hasn't changed. Explosion was there.

I would be very happy with either!
Hopkins would require draft pick/picks, and would be much more expensive, although worth it!
OBJ would not cost draft picks and would be far cheaper to sign. That has me leaning toward him if theres a choice. [Reply]

Damn.
While the compensation in terms of draft picks would have been easy for the Chiefs to do that contract is not. That’s why we were not in on Cooks and makes DHop unlikely [Reply]

I know what he said and he's full of shit. Also I thought he said it on his stupid podcast.
Also even if he was going up to Chiefs coaches complaining about targets that's not remotely close to why he was traded. He was traded because Davante Adams got paid $28 mil/yr and Tyreek wanted to be the highest paid WR. KC was gonna do it until that Adams trade/extension went down and sky rocketed that number from $25ish mil to $30 mil. [Reply]

Meh. I don't pretend to know what really happened between Hill and the FO or whoever. But he was pretty upset during last year's AFCCG for some reason, and it wasn't the first time we saw Hill angry and yelling on the sidelines.
My guess is it was a combination of things, and $$$ and 'targets' were both near the top of the list. [Reply]
