I have seen numbers for Juju projecting 18/year.
Juju is injured often AND has a chronic knee condition.
Signing him to a 3 or 4 year deal at 18 per is risky and expensive. There will be guaranteed money in that contract as well, yikes.
D Hop is on a two year deal at 19 then 14, no guarantees. NO Where has there been a quote or response from him or his management that he would demand a new contract. He wants OUT of AZ.
AZ is asking for a 2 (starting point). If you could obtain D Hop for a 3 or less (very possible) and he would be less than Juju for two years.
In this case, YES! This would be a huge win for Veach, Mahomes, Andy and the team. To acquire a talent like Hopkins for a below market deal is a GREAT move. It improves the offense/WR room with a savy veteran that could help with all the young WRs. Hopkins doesnt rely on speed to win so his knowledge would be valuable. He is still a TOP WR in the league and would be an immediate upgrade!
Now, if that is NOT the deal and it takes a second rounder, and/or a new contract then NO. It would not be worth it.
