****Official Deandre Hopkins Thread**** (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=355634)

No way Hopkins plays. We worrying about getting rest for our playoff run. Not stats.

Hopkins is 1 TD from a 500k incentive, so they probably asked him if it matters, if he says yes he'll get some red zone snaps.

Important to remember that Chris Jones played in our meaningless final game against the Chargers last year.

It was stupid for him to play. They should have just paid the bonus but probably wasn't in the cards after him sitting out the first game with his contract dispute.

Hopefully Hopkins cares more about getting a ring than paid at this point.

Hopkins shouldn't play. Just for his snap counts reasons. Pay him the bonus. Save his snaps for when it counts.

There’s some evidence to suggest Clark is a tightwad about these things.

Use the 500K in bargaining power for another year contract. They need to get one of DHop or Hollywood to come back next year and offering that on top of a contract without having to play might move the needle.

Receiver position is cursed this year. Last thing I want to see are the starters out there running routes in a meaningless game for a backup QB. That's just asking for injury and darkness and a re-activated Skyy Moore in the playoffs.

We let Jones run around like a crazy man to get a million bucks last year…

Hopkins had a grade 1 MCL tear I read. grade 1 medial collateral ligament (MCL) tear, which is considered minor, usually heals within 1–3 weeks. Treatment for a grade 1 MCL tear may include: Rest, Ice, Anti-inflammatory medicine, and Crutches for a short time.
The time it takes to heal an MCL tear depends on the severity of the injury:
Grade 2 (moderate) tear: Usually takes 4–6 weeks to heal
Grade 3 (severe) tear: Can take 6 weeks or more to heal, and may require surgery

He is not injured.

That's my thought as well. I know it isn't my money, so this is easy to say, but pay him the $1M and let him rest. Best of both worlds. If he contributes to a SB win, they will make that money back easily.

Just pay the 500k to have more snaps available in the playoffs and keep the higher pick in the trade option is worth it. Not to mention just having a rested and ready hopkins for the super bowl. 500k for another trophy in dads case?

I didn't know there was any confusion on that until that person made a reel about it that went viral.

I guess I'm one of the few that watched that movie in school?

The Chiefs letting Jones get his bonus is something a lot of players consider player friendly, some teams go out of their way to not pay incentives so them allowing him to get it is good will.
