    Superstar departure a sign that Jaguars’ AFC rival is unraveling?

    The Tennessee Titans might have made it easier for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

    On Wednesday, the Titans traded All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins away to the Kansas City Chiefs for a conditional fifth-round pick who could become a fourth-rounder. They will also eat up some of Hopkins’ remaining contract.

    The move comes as no surprise given the turmoil in the Titans organization with quarterback Will Levis’ struggles and Hopkins’ struggles. own comments he made after Sunday’s defeat. He said he does what he’s told and nothing more, seemingly distancing himself from the team and putting the responsibility on head coach Brian Callahan.

    Callahan appears to be striking out on several fronts at the moment, including how he deals with it Levis’ bad game.

    Not long ago, he seemed to shade his own quarterback, astutely blaming the 2023 second-round pick on the team’s overly conservative play-calling, which is one of the main reasons could be for their stagnant offense.

    “You have to throw the ball in the NFL to win,” Callahan had said. “You can run the ball very well, and we do that. But we have to find ways when the game is tight and we have to throw the ball in such a way that we have enough plays to give us a chance to win the game. “

    Now throwing the ball will be a little more difficult without a star wide receiver like Hopkins.

    It’s all in favor of the already dominant, albeit injury-plagued, 6-0 Chiefs.

    “In addition to (Marquise) Brown and (Rashee) Rice, the Chiefs also saw reserve JuJu Smith-Schuster, who reunited with the team earlier this season, leave the lineup on Sunday with a serious hamstring injury,” CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin wrote. . “That left rookie Xavier Worthy in charge of the pass-catching corps alongside backups Justin Watson and Skyy Moore.

    “Hopkins has struggled with injuries himself, including an MCL issue this year, but has remained a productive possession target on the field. The former Houston Texans star eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards as the Titans’ top receiver in 2023, previously recording six 1,000-yard campaigns between the Texans and the Arizona Cardinals.”

    The Jaguars face their own share of struggles and could also become trade deadline sellers, but the offense’s problems are solvable. All the Jaguars have to do is draft offensive linemen. The Titans have a huge quarterback conundrum on their hands that will only make matters worse.
