All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins traded to Chiefs amid Kansas City’s slew of injuries: report

As the Tennessee Titans continue to lose games and the Kansas City Chiefs continue to lose receivers, they have reportedly made a deal that will benefit everyone.

DeAndre Hopkins, the 32-year-old soon-to-be free agent, is reportedly being dealt to the reigning Super Bowl champions.

It was a tough task for Hopkins, who has just 15 receptions for 173 yards and just one touchdown; 10 of those catches and 127 of those yards came in two separate games.

Hopkins has caught one pass in three games this season, including last Sunday for a negative two yards against the Buffalo Bills, who ironically just acquired Amari Cooper.

Hopkins is the third veteran receiver traded in the past week, joining Cooper and Davante Adams, who rejoined the Jets in New York with old friend Aaron Rodgers.

Hopkins certainly isn’t the three-time All-Pro he was in the late 2010s, but Will Levis and Mason Rudolph seriously hinder what he could do on the field. Last season, his 75 receptions and 1,057 yards were all the lowest totals in a full season played since 2016.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs have lost Hollywood Brown, Rashee Rice and Justin Watson all this season. Even JuJu Smith-Schuster injured his hamstring last weekend against the San Francisco 49ers.

Despite all that, Kansas City is still 6-0 and just won their Super Bowl rematch with the San Francisco 49ers.

While Hopkins may not be back to his old self, it’s hard to imagine Patrick Mahomes not helping him at all.

The Titans are reportedly receiving a conditional fourth-round pick, which isn’t a bad return for an aging receiver they had no chance of bringing back.

Mahomes may not be able to keep Hopkins from being held out of a Pro Bowl for the fourth straight season, but the potential, combined with the fact that he is Mahomes’ No. 1 target, is highly beneficial.
