According to Vinny, Direct quote:
"KC offered more. it could have looked like the same amount on paper but it’s always about what’s guaranteed and KC’s guarantee topped the #Rams. From what I’m told in the short term and overall."
The bottom line is the Rams were willing to pay Cooks more than Watkins. But clearly, the Rams wanted to keep Watkins, they just set a price limit on his value to them an KC exceeded it.
