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?

We passed on DK, Terry McLaurin, and Diontae for Mecole.

Weren't there rumors we wanted Ruggs the year Jefferson came out?

Ruggs was physically everything the Chiefs like in a WR so that isn't stunning.

Staylor loves him and I think he does pass the eye test but man another shifty small guy is not really what I'd hope for.

Quentin Johnston would just change the whole thing but he'll be long gone.


edit: yeah and Ruggs had the tools uh, on the field

I know the CP brain trust has constantly lobbied to cut MVS before his roster bonus, but I think MVS showed late in the season that he can be utilized more than just a deep threat. Once again the front office is way higher on him than we are.

Unfortunately they didn't seem to value route running.

Jefferson was clearly better as an actual WR.

This place will freak out when we trade for Jerry Jeudy right before the draft

I do really like Flowers, but I think I'm out at 31.

After the top 4 (JSN, Johnston, Addison, Hyatt), I'd just get one in round 2, even if that means trading up.

Jefferson had a bunch of questions coming out people forget that, he wasn't the best receiver on his college team. He was on an all world college team, he ran 99% of his routes from the slot.

There are all sorts of people that have Flowers ahead of some of those guys...

I wouldn't.

Rather have him than Hopkins or OBJ.

Issue is why would Denver trade to us?

You'd rather trade a 1 for Jeudy than a 4 for Hopkins?

I liked him way better than Ruggs who I thought ran one great route.

My top 3 were Jeudy, Ceedee, and Ruggs.

He was a top 3 WR for me and that draft was strong.

I don't think Jeudy will take a 4.

I throw that 2 fast.

How in the hell could they expect a 1 for a guy with no 1000 yd seasons and 9 career TDs? With zero TDs the year before last?

[VAGOMO 4 LIFE!]

The Browns are signing former Seahawks WR Marquise Goodwin to a 1-year deal, per source.

After trading for Elijah Moore, Cleveland adds a second WR this week.
