Hopkins, 32, was traded to Kansas Metropolis for a conditional fourth-round decide in 2025, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The Chiefs have been in determined want for some receiver assist after dropping WR Rashee Rice to a knee damage, they usually get a man who is able to make a Tremendous Bowl run in Hopkins.
Listed here are the grades for each side on the DeAndre Hopkins commerce:
Kansas Metropolis Chiefs: A
I do know, Hopkins is outdated and coping with a myriad of accidents. Nonetheless, I believe his skillset is precisely what the Chiefs want at this level within the season and what the offense wants. With so many guys who actually lack the power to create separation outdoors of Travis Kelce, why not get a man who can win in contested catch conditions on the skin? Hopkins can nonetheless create separation in spurts and win as an outdoor receiver for a crew that’s extra dying by crossers and never essentially the most explosive offense downfield, and Hopkins may be the man to go get you a bucket on third down.
Tennessee Titans: B-
The Titans are clearly in rebuild mode. After loading up a roster within the offseason with veteran talent place expertise, however none of it at quarterback and offensive line, the crew has fallen aside and has performed a number of QBs at this level. The Titans additionally needed to eat a few of Hopkins’ wage within the deal, which additionally signifies that they’re rebuilding at this level. After this commerce, they now have seven draft picks and that’s with out calculating the Ernest Jones IV commerce.
Submit-Hopkins commerce, the #Titans now have seven draft picks in 2025 (1,2,4,4/5,5,6,7). WR, RT and EDGE are clear wants. Additionally might be one other crew that’s within the QB market.

I do just like the situations that Tennessee received on this commerce, although. Getting the enjoying time and Tremendous Bowl situations (each issues the Chiefs have very excessive odds of doing) helps increase the decide as much as a 4th rounder, sensible enterprise.
To finalize the Hopkins commerce:
The Fifth-round decide elevates to a 4th if the Chiefs make the Tremendous Bowl and if Hopkins performs 60%.
The Titans can pay 2.5m of Hopkins contract.
