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.

You may be hearing some wrong numbers.
The last numbers I saw of his market value was 14.6.

2/24-26 I would jump on in a heartbeat. 1-2 million more per year than MVS which seems appropriate to me.
A 2 year deal makes sense for both parties as well. It gives JuJu a chance to continue to build a body of work and have another pay day before he is 30 when the salary cap is even higher. And let's be honest here, both MVS and JuJu, if resigned need to be gone in no more than 2 years as younger guys develop.
