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?

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.

Well when one of your weapons is a 34 y/o TE who teams have been doubling and pounding on every game, and your other weapon can't string 5 games together, yeah there's a very real chance we can find ourselves in real bad shape next season if shit doesn't break our way.

Skyy Moore is our guy headed into next season. Not sure why that bothers you.

The never winning a SB thing is going to push the Bills into some crazy decisions.

Yah. I mean, NYJ split with them last season with very sub-par QB play. Now they have Rodgers, who might not be MVP level anymore, but he's lightyears ahead of Wilson and that other guy, the Jets have a solid run game and a solid array of WRs.

BUF has Diggs, and not much else. And I think BUF's defense won't even be on the same level they were at last season. Jets will roll over BUF in 2023. High probability they sweep them.

Im mostly curious to see if they throw numbers at the position like they did with DB, or if they're concentrated on specific players.

Is the WR market set yet? Feel like there are still tons of shoes to drop


Keenan allen
Mike Williams
Corey Davis
Allen Robinson

Good chance tee Higgins gets traded which may bump another WR into the market. A tooonnn of big contracts haven’t dropped yet which could drive additional cuts?

It's probably target 1 guy early and then numbers later.

Yes, if we lose Kelce and Toney we will be down to MVS and Moore (as it stands today at least), but they're not our top 2 playmakers today and to pretend they are to make a point is silly.

Allen and Williams both restructured in LA, Chargers still being all in to win nothing.

Those first two aren't going anywhere. Allen restructured and they aren't cutting Williams. No one wants Allen Robinson anymore...he's broke.

Corey Davis is really what's left and we're just waiting on him to be cut.

Nah man, the Bills aren't at all sacrificing their future to go all-in if they do this!

You think Toney is going to out snap Moore, huh?

Toney is a luxury who can break on any given play. No idea why you're putting so much stock into him.

I love Toney, the player. But he's going to be a part time, package role player in order to help keep him healthy.

They need guys to gobble up snaps. That's going to be Moore.

And if we're being honest, he hasn't done shit in this league.

He's been about as productive as MVS.

According to reports, the Chiefs view him as WR1 as it stands right now, so why wouldn't I?

There was a lot of hype about Mahomes and Toney developing a connection towards the end of the season.

So yea, as long as he's healthy, I think he's your top playmaker next to Kelce if they don't add Hopkins or OBJ.

Sure but you need someone to soak up snaps. Get him on an incentive deal and draft a guy or two.
