Do we want DeHop?

Story by Andrew Gould




The Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl without a star wide receiver, but they could reportedly make an elite offense even scarier by acquiring DeAndre Hopkins.

NFL insider Benjamin Albright told PHNX Cardinals that Kansas City is the "primary suitor" for Hopkins. He doesn't know the draft compensation the Cardinals would receive, but he said it's more likely they get a second-round pick than a first.

After the 2022 season, theScore's Jordan Schultz reported that the Cardinals plan to trade Hopkins this offseason.

Arizona hired a new general manager and head coach after a disappointing four-win season, and Hopkins is set to make $19.45 million (with a $30.75 million cap hit) in 2023. The Cardinals could seek a clean slate by moving the three-time All-Pro wideout, who turns 31 in June.

Hopkins began his Cardinals career by tallying 1,407 yards and six touchdowns in 2020. However, multiple lower body injuries limited him to 10 games in 2021, and he served a six-game suspension to start the 2022 season for violating the NFL's PED policy.

Yet he remains an impact player when on the field. Hopkins totaled 474 receiving yards in six full games with quarterback Kyler Murray last season.

Now imagine what he can accomplish when catching passes from Patrick Mahomes.

The Chiefs flourished without a star replacement for Tyreek Hill, but they could still benefit by solidifying the position this offseason. JuJu Smith-Schuster is a free agent after garnering 78 catches for 933 yards on a one-year deal. The depth chart features several talented question marks in Mecole Hardman, Kadarius Toney, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Adding Hopkins could be great news for Kansas City, but terrible for all opposing defenses.

Do we want a high priced prima donna?

Sounds like the chiefs are gonna have to hope for Beckham or Corey Davis if hes cut. I'm fine with either....bummed though Hopkins not likely coming here

I think there is an implied "." between #Chiefs and #Ravens, meaning the Ravens are out, and the Chiefs are concerned about the $$$.

Well because they still likely aren't going to win anything with their competition and then they'll be a bad team in the following years.

Because they're sacrificing the next 2-3 years to go all-in.

Did you learn absolutely nothing last season?

Kelce and Toney not MVS and Moore. JFC you're being quite the pussy about all of this.

Toney? C'mon man....Not a chance in hell you can expect him to be a workhorse WR.

Kelce is a TE.

MVS and Moore are your two starting perimeter receivers going into the season, as of right now.

I'm sorry if you don't like the way that sounds, but that's what it is.

Doesn't that read like the Chiefs are in it but this guy is speculating about their potential financial limitations? And does it take that much to name the Bills as a 'headliner' the day after the 'Buffalo Soldier' song?

I'm thinking there's supposed to be a comma between the Chiefs and Ravens there guys.

Ok, dream is dead. Let's all go to the Beckham thread

You said "playmakers". You know what you're doing and it's disingenuous as ****. Kelce is essentially our WR1.

You can be concerned about Toney's health, but it's as if you're already counting him out for the season/playoffs and it's just silly.

[Mecca]

Target the WR in the 1st you think can be a day 1 starter and go get him...then backfill it later in the draft with numbers and go from there.

Makes sense for us going 20-0 but a disastrous move for the Bills

And? Then in a year or two guys like Hopkins and Miller will be off the books.

It's a great move for Buffalo assuming they land him. The kind of move they need to make if they're gonna have a legitimate shot at a SB.

They realized, finally, that having just one real pass catcher made it easy for defenses to key in on that one guy...

I mean, this is shit we discussed as Chiefs fans everytime we played Buffalo, and exactly why we were never scared of them.

They're addressing that issue.

That would be fairly atrocious grammar though. I'm thinking a period would be more appropriate.

"Remember that time CP melted down and devoured itself due to punctuation...."

Yeah but it just doesn't make any sense that the Chiefs are worried about financials but the Bills aren't.

Dude they have $1 million in projected cap space next year. ONE MILLION. Their only options for gaining cap space is to restructure Allen and Diggs. And restructuring Allen is going to bump his future cap hits up to $60 million.
