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.

Pretty sure if I told my wife that I don't want pizza tonight, and she later brought up me being "against" pizza tonight, and I said "I never said I was against eating pizza tonight" she would be confused lol.

Are absolutely contradictory statements dude. Now you've changed it to "I would prefer they not..."
I'm seriously not trying to be a dick here, but you're making it seem like it's just that I'm not getting it.
Dude, "I don't want them to take a OT at 31" is not a qualified statement. Nowhere did I say "at all" or "at any cost" or any other qualifier of how much I'm against it. You drew that conclusion yourself, which is why you see a contradiction where one doesn't exist. :-) [Reply]

I still love you buddy.
Maybe that's the way it runs in your house but here we don't really talk in absolutes unless we mean to. :-)
Let me use your analogy to hopefully make things more clear.
Car's in the shop so my wife said she was going to order delivery. I told my wife I didn't want pizza tonight. She tried like hell to find anything OTHER than pizza but at the end of the day, everything else she looked at either wouldn't deliver to us or was so expensive it wasn't worth it.
So she bought pizza. And since it's right there on the table, I go ahead and eat it. Because to me and mine, "I don't like pizza" does not mean "I will never eat pizza for any reason." [Reply]

I responded. I'll die on it too. Which is funny because I'm quite sure that neither of us are pissed at all but everybody else in this thread is. :-) [Reply]

So you're basically saying that you will only draft a T if bascially every team ahead of us takes a WR, EDGE, etc.
Sorry dude, but sounds like you're against taking a T barring an incredibly unlikely scenario :-) [Reply]

You're no Chief Fan. Real CFs would've thrown her on the table and beat her mercilessly about the head and shoulders with our 14-inch hogs until she begged to run out and get us a ham sammie even if she had to walk 10 miles. In the snow. Uphill. Both ways. [Reply]
