Travis Kelce hints restructuring contract could lead to Chiefs signing Odell Beckham

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Travis Kelce thinks, or at least hopes, that restructuring his contract this week could open the door to Odell Beckham Jr. bringing his talents to Missouri.

On Tuesday, ESPN NFL insider Field Yates broke the news that the Chiefs and their Pro Bowl tight end reached an agreement to restructure his 2022 deal. The move converted some of his salary for this season to a signing bonus and opened up over $3 million in new cap space for the team, with the Nov. 1 NFL trade deadline closing in.

The Chiefs are sure to be active in the next two weeks as they look at possible trade targets that could help bring them their second Super Bowl title in the last four years. However, another option for the team could be to take a run at the top free agent still available on the market.

Three-time Pro Bowler Beckham Jr. is expected to be ready to play in the final weeks of the NFL season after tearing his ACL in the Super Bowl earlier this year. Many teams have been linked to the former New York Giants, Cleveland Browns and Los Angeles Rams star, including the Chiefs, and Kelce believes those rumors could become a reality with the new cap space the team has.
