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?

Main hope for me is that the Bills don’t get him. Unless they grossly overpay in picks & salary.

At age 32, Terrell Owens suffered a broken fibula in 2005 prior to playing in SB XXXIX, catching 9 passes for 122yds. He went on to post three consecutive 1,000+ yard seasons between the ages of 33-35 (1,180yds, 1355yds, 1052yds and 36 TDs), and 4,659 yards and 52 TDs over his final five seasons.

Anquan Boldin suffered a series of injuries between the end of 2009 through 2009, including an MCL, a high ankle sprain, and of course the incredible smashing of his face that required surgery to his sinus area and wiring his jaw shut, between the ages of 28-29.

Boldin went on to catch 423 passes for 4,221yds and 30 TDs over the next six seasons. He put together a pair of 1,000+ yard seasons (1,179yds and 1,062yds) between his 33rd and 34th birthdays.

Jerry Rice tore his ACL at 35. Returned the following season, played 16 games, caught 82 passes for 1157yds and 9 TDs. Continued for the next five years to amass more than 6,000 yds receiving, and 39 TDs after tearing his ACL.

Addressed.

Think I found it.

Peterson - was 26 in 2011 when he tore his ACL and was 27 when he had the 2097 yd season. He had another injury at 29 and his last legit great season was at age 30.

Owens - a broken fibula isn't what I'd call concerning. Considering he played on it. Cold Beasley played the playoffs with a broken fibula. Plus that's only 1 injury and it wasn't even severe enough to be detrimental to his play.

Boldin - I'll give you this one, but I wouldn't give up a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th and pay him $16 mil a year for his production after the his injury. I'd give up a 5th and be willing to pay $10 mil/yr for Hopkins, but that's not happening.

Jerry Rice - No one is Jerry. Dudes a unicorn and would do things no one could ever dream of at the position.

I'm pretty sure I brought up Jerry Rice in the initial post, but he doesn't count because he's Jerry ****ing Rice. Boldin fits I guess but it's not like he was putting up elite or even great numbers. He wouldn't be worth what it will take for Hopkins.

That's a lot of being a piece of shit in like 3-4 years.

Pacman having a rap sheet does not reflect on his ability to make friendships. NFL players prove time and time again their friendships transcend legal issues. Kelce was still calling Kareem Hunt his boy well after he was removed from the team for kicking at a woman on camera.

By this logic, players should be breaking news all of the time, yet they never do.

I’m guessing that was a short-lived sentiment on Kelce’s part.

Players and former players aren’t owners and agents but no doubt they are privy to chatter we aren’t. How about we all just agree to disagree.
