He'd definitely be able to rebuild his value and have a legitimate shot at winning a ring with us.

This is why we want dhop. For reerun fans of other teams to quiver in fear even more and pray we don’t get him. That is a good enough reason for me.

I think Shakir is a good bet to breakout if he gets that slot job, so I don't think that's a great plan either.

Totally speculative — but a short-term deal with the Chiefs would make so much sense to me. The fact Hopkins is available via free agency shows you his value needs to be improved. Nowhere better to do it right now than KC. Win-win. https://t.co/l4QzxFOjuj

Darlington has been riding the he needs to go to KC wagon since before the draft. He did a whole piece about it on ESPN and his personal view was Kansas City was far and away the best place for Hopkins.

Didn't Jackson tell the front office he wanted OBJ and Hopkins both?

Just a reminder that he had 60+ receptions and 700+ yards receiving in half a season last year and most of that was with Colt McCoy at QB.

He may not be what he was, but Hopkins in the Chiefs offense with Mahomes and Andy’s schemes?

YES PLEASE.

They could restructure Kelce's contract. It would give them around $7-8 million in cap space and make his cap hit next year around $19 million.

Release will not become official until 4:00 p.m. ET on Friday, so Arizona still has a chance to find a trade partner in the eleventh hour.

That was before they used their #1 on Flowers.

DHop to KC is an absolute worst nightmare scenario to the rest of the AFC. Go after the official dynasty and sort the rest out later. ZERO draft capital required. Go freaking get him!

That isn't happening..

Write a bigger paycheck and Hopkins will convince himself that he has every bit the same shot to do that with Lamar as he does with Mahomes.

They have agents.

Agents aren't stupid.

That said, Hopkins has had a fairly weird history with agents. I think he had one, fired him, got a deal done with houston, hired another one, got traded, fired that agent, got a new contract with Arizona and then hired a new agent.

So he may just be someone that pull all the levers and his agent simply reviews paperwork. If so, maybe you're right.

If not, perhaps wiser heads will talk to him about a long-term picture.

It sure feels like the Cardinals are tanking. Hopkins gone, Baker wants out (and probably will), no Kyler for a lot of the season due to injury.

They could be on track to get Caleb Williams and if the Texans don’t improve it could be Marvin Harrison Jr
