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?

And there it is! Ive been saying this all along. He has NOT demanded a new contract.

Of course it depends on where he is going. He wants the Ring OR the money.

He has been on shitty teams his whole career, he only has a few years left to solidify his legacy. If its the Chiefs, he will make the money work. If its a shitty team might as well get the money.

BUT things have changed now. With our glaring need of a LT, this deal is very unlikely, unfortunately.

If he's reasonable with the latter 2 years of his contract, I'm in.

Guy would be super fun to watch in this offense.

Not being dicks at all.

CP has the ability to literally post these things into existence. You aren't familiar with the Bashaud Breeland saga?

[Balto]

I mean Veach is legendary for giving "Extensions" on current contracts while making it sounds like a NEW contract and larger yearly average than it really is!

At this point, I'm good with whatever they do. Can't say I wouldn't be just a tad excited if they did get Hopkins, though.

[Couch-Potato]

Would certainly be a big splash, but I think this only happens if we can't resign JuJu.

[Couch-Potato]

sounds like NE and NYG are also interested, and he voided his no trade clause. That's not good for us, was hoping he'd prefer KC and choose his destination.
