Hopkins might not like being the #2 option behind Kelce

There's tons of targets here even with Kelce...

It's amusing to me though how much Marcus Spears and Bill Barnwell seem to want him to go to the Chiefs.

They want Mahomes to knock Brady off his pedestal.

Well, yeah, if you add the best TE in the league, the WR room looks better.

Well considering he's been a top 5 receiver in the game since his 2nd season in the league and a top 3 receiver since he's had Patrick Mahomes, then I kinda had to include him. Since 2014 there has only been 3 players with more receiving yards;

Julio Jones 10,892 yds
DeAndre Hopkins 10,496 yds
Mike Evans 10,425 yds
Travis Kelce 10,344 yds

He's tied with DHop for 3rd in rec TDs with 69 TDs since 2014

Since he's been with Mahomes he's been 3rd in rec yds (6444 yds) behind Hill (6564 yds) a,Dr,rrnd Adams (6826 yds).

He gets a ton of targets, yds, and TDs, because he is the best ever to do it at his position and one of the best pass catchers ever in this league. How in the **** could I not include him?

Take him out and it's still really god damn close

Bengals WRs had 3188 rec yds
Chiefs WRs had 2653 rec yds

Bengals WR only had a 535 yd lead over a group of guys that missed out on 152 targets because of a TE. Seems to me they did fine, MegatronJR.

Your daughter obviously married him for his sense of humor, not his survival instincts.

NFL News: DeAndre Hopkins' free-agency decision sends message to Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes
Story by Fernando Franco Puga • 2h ago

DeAndre Hopkins is looking for a new team to play for in the 2023 NFL season. Now, the wide receiver has made a risky decision during this free-agency that sends a strong message to the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes.
There isn’t much time left for DeAndre Hopkins to choose his next landing spot. Amidst all the rumors surrounding the wide receiver, he has made a surprising and risky decision during this free agency, sending a message to the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes.

Hopkins is testing the free-agency market for the first time in his career. The receiver was recently released by the Arizona Cardinals, who decided to save some money and part ways with the 31-year-old after he failed to live up to the expectations.

As of today, the former Houston Texans player has only visited the New England Patriots and the Tennessee Titans. However, he has recently made a controversial move that could add another team to the race to sign him: the Chiefs.

Training camps have already started, and DeAndre Hopkins has not yet decided on his new team. Fans eagerly await his decision, but the wide receiver is taking his time to carefully select the best possible landing spot.

According to reports, Hopkins wants to play for a Super Bowl contender this year, but it is not the only thing he’s looking for. The former 27th-overall pick is looking for a lucrative contract, with salary demands that may be too high for several teams.

As said before, patience really describes Hopkins nowadays. The wide receiver has recently decided to convince multiple teams to offer him a contract to see which one is the best for him, and this move could be a direct message to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Hopkins’ salary demands are too high for the Chiefs, but it seems like he’s giving the club extra time to clear cap space to sign him. “You still have teams like maybe the Chiefs that could clear up some money closer to training camp, then they could get in involved,” ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said. “There are some contenders there, but right now, he is staying put and waiting for the right situation.”

Even though the Chiefs don’t have enough money to sign Hopkins, Chris Jones’ contract extension could change this situation. As the receiver is not in a rush to sign with anyone, Kansas City may have an opportunity to clear cap space and upgrade Patrick Mahomes’ offense with a five-time Pro Bowler.

News to me that "Training camps have already started..." Maybe he meant OTAs?

We are in Tom Brady/patriots territory now. If you want to win a superbowl you are taking a discount.

It's not just about salary for KC; signing Hopkins necessarily means losing another quality player from the roster. Even someone like Allegretti might be more valuable at this point. There simply aren't Sabby Piscatellis taking up spots anymore.
