I’m not convinced Hopkins is in Veachs plans, though.
If he wants a deal a that’s just a tick higher than Juju last year, with similar structure of being incentive based…great. Get him a jersey and fit him for a ring. I’m not convinced he is willing to take that kind of deal though.
He’s not getting anything more than a 1 year deal in KC. How could we, with this WR room?
What message does it send to Rice, Skyy and Toney if Veach goes out and gives Hopkins a 3 year deal…or even a 2 year deal?
How about Ross? MVS?
It’s either a 1 year deal that’s incentive based… or nothing.
I'm more concerned with what message it sends to Mahomes if our wide receiving room this year is absooute dog crap and Deandre fricken Hopkins was right there for the taking and we passed on him. Veach and Mahomes are in constant communication so you have to trust whatever decision is made. [Reply]

Strong, early candidate for gayest post of the year [Reply]

I’m inclined to believe the front office will be fine whether Hopkins signs with KC or someone else.
I doubt they’re worried about what fringe players like Ross think. When you’ve got a rookie like Rice who models his fame after Hopkins, what better role model could there be? Rice can learn the playbook and how to be a pro his rookie year.
MVS is not in the long term plans so who gives a shit how this affects him? Toney needs to prove he can play a full season with a deep playoff run before the Chiefs pin their superbowl hopes on him - Hopkins is insurance.
I think what the Chiefs need to sort out is what they do with space created from a CJ or Sneed deal. Do they fortify the DL or the WR room? [Reply]
WR groups are more prone to injuries than a lot of other position groups.
The more reps, the more chances of injury
Chiefs WR group has a few players whose pasts include injury plagued seasons.
Having more reliable options only makes our offense better.
I would be much more concerned with the group staying healthy the entire season and post season, than mahomes not being able to give certain players enough reps. [Reply]
