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?

supposedly BAL is interested in DHop as well. Or, rather, Lamar wants him, so they're apparently looking into it.

I believe the chance of DHop coming to KC is around 75-80%.

Things are lining up.

Jones

4th round pick

#3 pick
Hopkins

This is the EXACT kind of trade crackheads make with their new stereo, TV and laptop for a piece of rock.

Jones

I'd rather keep Jones and pay him BUT Veach has history of not making players the highest paid at their position, Hill and OBJ, I think Veach could look at Jones the same depending on contract talks.

Let me add my voice to the rest of the crowd and say how silly this trade looks. I get they had to trade Tyreek because he pushed them to do it, but Jones isn't going to end up like that.

Plus IF....and make that a far reaching IF.....I trade Jones I am getting a hell of a lot more than you are suggesting. I am going to get a couple of 1's and a 3rd minimum.

Not sure why you are giving them Jones and MVS...your trade weakens the team and doesn't get enough in return.

[Couch-Potato]

Can we please keep the guy that got 15 sacks last year?

We have an extra 4th to play with, that plus CEH or MVS or a 2024 5th, and ARZ pay $5m of his contract.

That's more than we should be offering, take it or leave it.

Man, the spirit of Tyrone Biggums permeates throughout this lengthy thread.

good gods, y'all.

Clyde is not trade bait. Nobody wants Clyde. He's not a significant part of any deal. Stop already.

You might get a 7th for him. It's nothing. Guy can't stay healthy. He has no trade value, and no elite skillset to project from.

Clyde explaining his trade value:

[Rainbarrel]

Negotiated his own contract with the Cards, plans to be a GM. Using his lawyer as a agent now. Sounds wonderful

[Rainbarrel]

Probably scheduled himself saving kittens during draft

Balto is the guy that loses trades against the computer on Madden in easy mode. Now I think he makes these up just for this type of reaction. If he really thinks his scenarios are good trades (for the Chiefs anyway), then we have an intelligence problem.

He's worth a 7th, you say? I'd take that over CEH every single day.

a 7th is... something.
