Here’s what I believe is happening. Take it for what it’s worth. Which probably isn’t much.
The Chiefs and CJ have a deal DONE and CJ said he wants his deal to help KC as long as he gets his agreed upon framework. The “final draft” will be signed right before the draft. That gives Brett flexibility to structure it with a low first year hit (so they can fit in Hopkins)…or a modest first year hit if they decide to go in another direction.
KC can’t make the trade right now due to cap space, so they are using that leverage to try to get Arizona to eat as much as they can, to facilitate a trade. That’s why it’s taking time. Lots of back and forth.
The 2 deals are going to be announced very close to each other because CJs deal is dependent on what Veach can get done with Hopkins.
