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?

Sure he does. We traded big for clark and obj then gave clark a mega deal. We signed Sammy Watkins to the same kind of deal for the same kind of reliability. Because we struggled to draft our own LBs we gave big deals to Damien Wilson and Anthony hitchens. We signed a guard to a monster deal because we did such a bad job in prior seasons bringing in our own OL talent.
He’s good with money, but that doesn’t mean he’s above band aiding if he needs to.

Is the margin between the Chiefs and the Colts “razor thin” as well since they also beat the Chiefs in an early regular season game last year?
Fact: Buffalo collapsed and were exposed as overrated frauds in the playoffs.
Hopkins will do no more to help a turnover prone choker in Josh Allen than he did with a similar loser QB in Kyler Murray.
i look forward to us blowing out buffalo

He was bidding on Silverback like he was drunk in Vegas and owed a loan shark his life savings.
Thankfully he sobered up in time to fold.
