Chiefs to Acquire Five-Time Pro Bowler DeAndre Hopkins Ahead of NFL Trade Deadline

Oct 23, 2024, 12:21 PM

The Kansas City Chiefs are finalizing a trade to acquire wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins from the Tennessee Titans, according to multiple reports. The trade, expected to be completed ahead of the NFL trade deadline, involves a conditional fifth-round pick that can become a fourth-round pick, with Tennessee potentially picking up part of Hopkins' salary. Hopkins, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, will bolster the Chiefs' receiving corps as they aim for a third consecutive Super Bowl title. This move addresses the Chiefs' need for a veteran wide receiver following injuries to Rashee Rice and JuJu Smith-Schuster. The Chiefs previously attempted to sign Hopkins in 2023 but were deterred by the cost. Hopkins will transition from playing with rookie quarterback Will Levis to joining Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City. The Chiefs have two third-round picks next season, making the conditional pick feasible.
