Win a ring and become a champion or throw another 3 -5 million on the pile. Honestly if he becomes famous for more than Football he can make it up after he’s done playing.

How confident are we that Veach has had any real interest in signing Hopkins after he signed James and Watson?

Sure seems like those 2 moves closed that door. Especially with Skyy, Rice, Toney and MVS being absolute locks…and the coaches giving Watson a 2 year deal with guarantees, signing James and gushing about Justyn Ross to all media.

I have doubts that Veach has even contacted Hopkins agent whatsoever snd might have not even talked with Arizona since before the draft and pivoted to Rice as the “plan b” at the big WR to replace Jujus role in the offense.

I don't think DHop was ever really in the plans. Nothing that has been reported this year as rumor has been even remotely right.

OBJ was getting tagged - Nope, didn't even want him for cheap

Juju was a priority - Nope didn't even want him for MVS money.

Chiefs loved Frank and wanted to bring him back - Nope didn't even offer him.

The guys that report and follow this team don't actually get fed with any info. I don't think anyone in the media has any sources inside this team. The Chiefs run a tight ship and you never really hear rumors during free agency about who they'll sign.

He'd rather tap cellulite Betty on a bed of bucks

I think if Hopkins doesn't find what he wants on in TEN, BOS, or elsewhere he comes back around to our offer.

Whoa! Hadn't noticed that yet, WTF!? Why are we paying MVS more than JuJu got on the open market instead of paying JuJu!?

Patriots or Titans are probably the best outcome, if he’s not signing with us Atleast he signs with a team that isn’t a threat and can possibly give our actual threats more of a challenge.

Makes sense to me /shrug

At this point, should he consider to wait until after training camp or some of preseason to see who gets injured if he’s all about the money? I don’t know enough about the cap to know if a team got desperate if they could overpay?

… Because Valdez-Scantling is legitimately elite at threatening the deep portions of the field, and Smith-Schuster doesn’t really offer any elite skills at this point.

Richard James will handle JJSS role - and probably won't be much drop off other than a few inches of height.

With respect to MVS, "elite" is a bit of a stretch.

Hopkins will always have his personally signed Knute Rockne kodaks

MVS has elite speed.
