Hopkins, 32, was traded to Kansas Metropolis for a conditional fourth-round decide in 2025, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The Chiefs had been in determined want for some receiver assist after dropping WR Rashee Rice to a knee harm, they usually get a man who is able to make a Tremendous Bowl run in Hopkins.
Listed below are the grades for either side on the DeAndre Hopkins commerce:
Kansas Metropolis Chiefs: A
I do know, Hopkins is previous and coping with a myriad of accidents. Nevertheless, 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 really lack the power to create separation outdoors of Travis Kelce, why not get a man who can win in contested catch conditions on the surface? Hopkins can nonetheless create separation in spurts and win as an outdoor receiver for a crew that’s extra loss of life by crossers and never essentially the most explosive offense downfield, and Hopkins could 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 implies 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 could possibly be one other crew that’s within the QB market.

I do just like the situations that Tennessee bought on this commerce, although. Getting the taking part in time and Tremendous Bowl situations (each issues the Chiefs have very excessive odds of doing) helps elevate the decide as much as a 4th rounder, good 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 pays 2.5m of Hopkins contract.

I anticipate extra trades to get completed popping out of Tennessee.
