This is where I'm at as well. We saw what MVS can be and he will only be better with a year under his belt in the system, and Skyy & Toney were both very high picks who are playmakers. This is what great organizations do; they groom young players and then let them play. If they both stay healthy they can be big time players. You also have Richie James in the mix and can always bring Watson back. Plus, there's still the draft.

Andy & Brett aren't panicking, so I sure as hell won't. I'd love to have D-Hop but we're already looking at fielding a better overall roster than we did last year while the Bills and Bengals both took small steps back. There is no reason whatsoever to doubt what these guys are doing anymore, so I won't.

Wasn't there reports earlier in the offseason that suggested for some reason that moving him after June 1st would make more sense?

All of this.

Florio and Simms were discussing Hopkins and after listening to them, it sounds like Dhop wants another big payday.

When has changing teams not been about the money

Sounds great! A full 10 picks in this years draft and we trade 1 of next year's picks for Hopkins after the draft. I'm in!

Would love to see this get done.

Could KC make another SB run with Toney/MVS as lead guys? Sure. But it would take a lot more consistency from MVS, a healthy season from Toney, and a big step year one to year two from Skyy to do it. You could certainly see the difference in KC’s offense when Juju and Hardman were both banged up. Still explosive at times, but not as consistent. And who doesn’t miss rolling into games with Hill, Watkins, Hardman to go along with Kelce?? Just felt a bit different…

A long rant to simply say I would love to see DHop finish out his career in KC.

This type of thinking is what narrows the window in the Mahomes era. Unless DeHop gets cut and wants to ring hunt on a reasonable deal, he won't be Chief. Veach is too smart for anything else...

Not trying to bust the idea that he wouldn't be amazing on the Chiefs, just not for the price he demands...

Losing JuJu, Toney’s injury issues and the possibility that Kelce, who will be 34 in October, may not be able to maintain his elite level of play from last year are all reasons for why the Chiefs still need to make an aggressive move at WR.

I'd say between trading for Hopkins and picking Hyatt in the 1st round of the draft, there are no other moves the rest of the league fears our Chiefs will make more.

There's a very good chance we see a Kelce regression in a few years and I'm not as convinced as others Reid has more than a few years left coaching.

Load up for a run while the iron is hot. Agreed that doesn't mean we do something stupid. But we can’t sit and build for 5 years from now when our window right now is wide wide open

The ONLY way I’m even entertaining a trade for Hopkins is if he will play on his current deal and Arizona restructures his contract by converting 15m of this years salary to a bonus so his cap hits for the next 2 years is only 20m.

I’d be willing to give them a third in that scenario…and it would benefit both teams and give DHop a fat check in his pocket.

If he wants a new deal for top dollar, nobody will give him that.

Nobody smart.

Buddha Baker wants out of the hell hole that is the Cards. Are we interested?
