The Kansas City Chiefs have traded for Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, according to multiple reports.

Hopkins, 32, will help bolster a receiving corps that has lost Rashee Rice, Marquise Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster to injuries.

The Chiefs send a fifth-round draft pick who could become a fourth-rounder if Kansas City reaches the Super Bowl and Hopkins plays 60% of the snaps as Chief, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Tennessee will also pay Hopkins $2.5 million.

Hopkins has 15 catches for 173 yards this season for a Titans team that has won just one game and struggled at quarterback. Hopkins suffered a knee injury during training camp that did not require surgery. Last season at Tennessee he had 75 catches for 1,057 yards.

Hopkins is the third high-profile receiver to be traded in the last eight days. Last week, the Las Vegas Raiders sent Davante Adams to the New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns traded Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills. The Los Angeles Rams have also reportedly begun trade talks with teams for former Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp.

The two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs have the best record in the NFL at 6-0, but were looking for a receiver to help quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Brown is not expected to play in the regular season after undergoing shoulder surgery last month due to an injury suffered in the preseason. Rice is also not expected to play the rest of the season after undergoing surgery two weeks ago to repair the posterolateral corner of his right knee. He was injured during a win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Smith-Schuster missed Sunday’s win over the San Francisco 49ers due to a hamstring injury and is already out for the Chiefs’ Week 8 game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

It’s the third straight season the Chiefs have made a trade for a wide receiver during the season. In 2022, the Chiefs sent a third- and sixth-round pick to the New York Giants for Kadarius Toney. He is no longer on the roster, although he did have a crucial punt return in the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in February 2023.

Last season, the Chiefs traded a sixth-round pick to the Jets for Mecole Hardman and a seventh-round pick. Hardman had left the Chiefs to sign with the Jets as a free agent this offseason. Hardman caught the game-winning pass in overtime of Super Bowl LVIII and re-signed with the Chiefs this offseason.
