They’re losing 2 big pieces from this offense in Hardman and jjss. They’ll add someone to the group and we know how Andy is with rookie wrs so it isn’t likely coming that way.
I don’t really think Hopkins fits what they want at wr but there continually evolving and pivoting so maybe he is what they’re looking for.
But it’s just not a death blow to the cap either way. They’ll be able to sign and keep who they want when they want.

Expecting a big drop off from Mahomes, are you?
I wouldn't bet on that.
They'll add to the WR room, nobody thinks they won't, but it's highly unlikely that it's in the form of a high priced, over 30, 'WR#1' guy. That's poor cap value when KC is in a time frame in which it must maximize cap value across it's roster in order to field a championship caliber team.
We're not necessarily losing either Hardman or JJSS. Hardman was hurt half of the year, and is just as likely to take a cheap on year deal to improve his standing in FA next year as not. And Juju's skillset is not a high value one, really. He may well find that doing another incentive laden deal in KC is his best option.
Of the two, I'd bet that Hardman is the one that stays, and Juju's touches get spread around between Toney, Moore, Hardman, a re-signed Watson, and a draftee.
There's no reason at all not to expect your younger players to take bigger roles, and Reid has even said so this week.
