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?

Same with Mims/Scott, jsut to a slightly lesser degree.

You don't need to have a bonafide WR1 to have a really nice group for Mahomes to throw to for the next few years.

I thought that it was mentioned that the Chiefs viewed Toney as their WR1 this upcoming season.
If that is an accurate statement/rumor then we would not be interested in OBJ or Hopkins. It would make more sense that we would select a WR in the top 100ish picks.

I swear I can't wait until Moore eventually ends this converstion and becomes a good player. It's getting so old.

I'm the guy who spent months here arguing that Moore can slide in and replace JJSS while everyone told me he was Hardman's replacement.

Yes, i think Moore can come in and catch the ball when its thrown to him. No, i don't think he adds anything special to the offense. Albert Wilson 2.0. And we all know how much Reid loved him some Albert Wilson.

It was mentioned in a single tweet by one person.

There’s no way you can trust Toney in that role without a more complete receiver room given his injury history.

This conversation will continue (and rightfully so) until he gets "good". If he never does it was a pretty big miss and the guys drafted around him are already ahead of him so this will remain a thing for a while.

I think that may be the direction they go, but i sure AF ain't hoping for it.

You guys act like we're going to have two guys at WR on the roster.

It was never going to be DHop or OBJ.

Juju's a good player, but at this stage, he's not special. He's not fast. He's not elite at anything, just steady.

And it was the number one offense in football.

It'll be okay.

That is not at all our philosophy.

so we paid money for WR’s? It was still middle of the pack WR’s, you know JAG’s.

we will see after this draft.

Dude you can’t continually hand that shit out and then not take it in return. That’s not how this works.

Yup. If Toney could give us 20 games, we dont have this conversation.

If we had Pickens instead of Moore, again, we aren't having this conversation.

We'd instead be talking about which 3rd round draft pick can run jet sweeps.

They also invested 2 day 2 picks.

No, im not acting like that at all. I continously point out that simple math suggests they will be adding bodies via a combo of a cheap vet and a draft pick at least. And the likely return of Justin Watson.
