Look, skip the procedure for how the player got here. Skip the compensation. Deandre Hopkins somehow lands in KC and his contract is for zero dollars, no picks for one year. As is.
Is he good enough for you to put him in a uni?

Of course any one would for zero compensation. What kind of silly question is that?
I can't just ignore reality that he wants a new contract, with more years and more guaranteed money though. Then you add in that he is now over 30, has had some injury issues in the recent past that made him miss significant time. Then the draft capital that is would cost to get him. Nah, I'm good.
Of course you are going to say he isn't injury prone. But yet here is his last 4 years worth of injuries.

He is getting older. Clearly his body is starting to show signs of being elderly on the football field with the change in his injuries from the beginning of his career compared to now.
I get it, you like the guy. You think his abilities could add to the offense. I agree, they can. But that is not looking at the complete picture of bringing him here. That is simply looking at abilities on a playing field. There is more to it than that.
